The 1000 Day Holiday

Arrived safe and sound.
didnt have enough time to make the sleeper train to sapporo. so hanging in tokyo.

its not too bad getting around on the rail system. met some aussies on the way to the hostel so hanging with other gaijins is good, and theyre organised on what to do!

mt fuji tomorrow. and then maybe nagano in a few days time.

the language thing is crazy.
we came out of the train station, and couldnt find which exit we came out of, thus the map made no sense.
however i asked a japanese couple for directions, and they walked us there, even tho they had no idea where it was, and ended up calling the hostel, getting us most of the way there.. then later noticing us lost again. and walking us to the right area.. then we talked to some others and got there in the end.

Food is soo cheap and good. great feeds for 200 – 400 yen. 2 to 4 bucks!
and the supermarkets sell the equivilant of vodka for 8 bucks.

visit to the govt tower today sent home the total size of this place. as far as the eye can see in all directions – built up.INSANE
