コんにちわ

コんいちわ Konichiwa.

Check me finding how to switch to Japanese on my keyboard!

We are very much in Japan, the airport played us lovely soothing music as we left the plane and also apologised for the 5 minutes we had to wait for the shuttle across the airport.

For me this is a return to Japan, I was lucky enough to get here on my previous trip to Asia 8 years ago and as many people will attest have been harping on about it ever since. I am so excited to be back I just wanted to post a couple of photos:

First, a mountain poking its head above the clouds as we started our decent into Tokyo, I am going to believe it is Fuji San even if I am provided with evidence to the contrary.

It's Fuji to me!

Next me in our hotel issued "evening wear".

Evening wear!

Not sure what we have planned for tomorrow, not actually sure where we are in Tokyo. The confusing thing about Japan is that everything seems really normal until you actually try to do something. We are still a little surprised that we made it to the hotel so fast, we were following directions provided by the hotel but they made no sense and were even more confusing as we tried to apply them to the actual Tokyo rail system... but then all of a sudden we were at the hotel in our tiny, comfy room. Weird.

Sleep needed now, while we have this amazingly fast Tokyo internet access I will try and post again tomorrow with our reaction to our first day.
