Ha!
So
We're the fuck do I begin..
Oh that's right!
Day 1 including the plane.
After a 2 planes, a 12 hour flight and cramped up next to a British traveler and a old japanese man requesting i move to the spot thats unavailable on a maylasian 747 flying over the Indian ocean (you'll get it) With endless amounts of wine and a cardboard box as a blanket I have made it.... Japan!!!!!
Ha! What a trip. Pretty cool actually I didn't feel the affects to much jet lag or exessive drinking at high altitude or even butt cramp pain.
The trip to Tokyo was a simple plane and with much confidence I hoped on the first train ticket terminal and bought the WRONG ticket.. ah, feels good to fuck up and reminder yourself that no, you are not the center if the universe jesse and but you can use a computer to buy a ticket just not a fucking japanese one you big white douchey tourist..
Be harsh on myself...
Anyways! Pleasant as it was the nice japanese train man assisted me with my ticket and on I was from Narita airport to the "Big City".. Tokyo!
Now I'm going to skip the pleasant train ride as it was all it was. Yes comfortable seats and delightful views, oh, I'll mention it went faster then the bulls hit australind some may no of. Need I explain.
Ha I did have one man how ever approach me, in a cabin of at least 50... that's right 50 empty seats because I was in his appointed seat for travel...
Seriously guy?
I gave him a blank stare as he look at my ticket as said in broken English.
Ohh this carage 3 you in 11....
Fuck of mate.
So I got up, moved my shit right opposite of him, and sat down.
Sorry but there are minus 49 people including you now on this carage and don't expect it to fill as the train clearly says "narita express" which I entail means fill the fuck up at the airport and drop you of in Tokyo not fill up the rest of the way. ..
Ha. Don't take this as a bitch but more as a rewarding experience in this beautiful country. It merely excited me with confusion as to the people and ways of this great land. I'm not even in Tokyo yet...
So I get of the train. Rushed. Confused. Amazed! And enter, Tokyo city!!!
Hostel first. So with a little pixelated map I headed towards where I thought it would be and of course after many trials back and forth up and down the street.... it was no where to be found. Then I whipped out the latest and greatest gadget in Japanese culture. .. talking broken English.
Yeah I was fucked. As all paths I eventually found someone who spoke English and guided me safely there.
By now it was time to drop the bags until check in and get some food for exploring.
Once again after a train ride the wrong way I made it to tuskiji markets where they were closed but still on the outskirts with some delicious foods to sample.
Explore explore explore.
Until o safety arrive back to my capsule hotel....
Yes.
Capsule hotel.
Quite comfortable yes.
With a bottle of wiskey some rice and the need to sleep for my next big day in Tokyo.
Studio ghibli!!!
Laters
Premium coffee in a can, delicious.
