Konnichiwa from Tokyo!

We arrived into Narita National Airport yesterday around 4:30 in Japan- so almost 24 hours of straight travelling! The flight went very smoothly-the beauty about Asian flights is that wine is free. I was able to sleep for probably 80% of the flight, only waking up to eat or go to the bathroom. I dont think that Mimi or Willy were able to sleep much.
At the airport, we were greeted by some Japanese paparazzi, and saw a japanese pop star/movie star..not really sure but it was kind of entertaining. We took a train and the subway to our hostel which is located in a little area outside of Tokyo. When we arrived, we had a little trouble finding our hostel which is not well marked and pretty much hidden from the street. It is a very interesting place- I thought hostels in Europe were small. Our room has four beds (2 of which are built into a closet and definitely not long enough for anyone over 5'2 (perk of being short). there is not enough room to even put our backpacks on the floor so luckily we have an extra bed. It is a little smelly but overall pretty clean, and the shower was warm!
We are about to venture out into Tokyo for the day after a very looongg nights rest.

Sayonara,

Ashley
