Arrived in Tokyo
I’m in Tokyo now sitting at my hostel. Finally.
My 10 hour flight was 2 hours late leaving San Francisco, though it made up an hour of that en route. I was impressed with JAL though(minus the delay), excellent service, far better than any of the US airlines, despite the flight being that long their programming selection was so extensive and it gives you complete control over it that I was never bored. It was also by far the quietist flight I have ever taken, maybe a new model of the 777-300, it seemed pretty new?
Then came the gauntlet of different trains and the maze through side streets to find the hostel which I did with no problems, but all of that added up and I didn’t check in until 9:00 PM.
First thoughts are very good on Tokyo, at least the part I’ve seen. It’s busy, but strangely quieter than I expected. People are riding bikes EVERYWHERE, motorcycles too and even walking. Funny, I haven’t seen hardly any fat people yet, coincidence? I can’t wait to explore the city, but for now I’m really tired since I’ve had something like 4 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours, so I am off to bed.
