It`s been raining here since I got up, which made the walk to the station a nightmare, ubt once I got to the staition the whole trip got alot smoother, made it to shinagawa in record time, unfortunatly my hotel doesn`t allow bookings in until 2pm, so here I am ,wasting time, at least until the rain stops ^^;.

sleepless mornings
Morning
I find myself sitting at a PC screen once again, early in the morning. Its almost 3am here and I find
myself unable to sleep, I'm guessing it's because i slept in earlier. Anywho, today was rather uneventful, with a nice case of homesickness upon me i decided to stay in my room, and managed to fall asleep again, i awoke at about 9pm ish and decided to check my emails, after that i hit the hotels pub which turned out to be a small room near the garden, I had my first meal there , yakisoba , which was Delicious.
(yakisoba- not my pic)
At the pub I met four men from australia, They had all been on a training course in aikido and were spending their last night at my hotel before heading home. I have to say thankyou to all four of them ( Richard-san, Ben-san, Scott-san and Mark-san, Domo Arigatou gozimasu !)
They managed to talk the home sickness away and reasurred me that i'd have a great time.
anyway I should go to bed, I need some form of rest before i get the trains Later on today XD

Good Morning
Greetings from Japan
It's 5am here, i'm sitting in the lobby of my hotel.
After a 12hour flight from Heathrow i finally made it to Japan ( tired cheering)
Navigating myself around Narita airport was rather easy to, a little trouble switching between trains ,but luckily I came across a nice american who showed me how to use the subway ticket machines ( thanks Sir!).
Finally i made to my hotel, a little panic after not being able to get ahold of my parents ( i did only an hour ago, thanks lauren I owe you big time ! ) Got a few hours of rest and here I am.
Not planing on doing much today, just resting :)
