Day 64:Japan!!!

Yay,
 
We landed in Tokyo last night and man it is been a hectic night!  First it was like 9:30pm when we landed and it took us 3 hours just to get into the centre if town.  Tired, hungry plus no one spoke english we had to change our route 4 times just to get to the first hostel − Tokyo INternational.  Too bad it was closed at 11pm!!  So we had to find the YMCA. With no street namesa or clue of where we were we kinda randomly asked a guy on the street and he was really helpful.  IN fact everyone is really helpful and go out of their way to check obn their docomo mobile phones the directions.  Well after we found the ymca, it turned out they were full.  Haha, so we booked for the next evening and got recommended the expensive Tokyto Green Hotel.  It was like 2am now and the room was 18500 yen for a twin room.  Managed to get it down to 13000 :)
 
First impressions
 
Everyone is really friendly, even if their english is not so good.  Also, everyone thinks I am japanese and start speaking in japanese.  My response is a blank stare followed by "do you seak englsih?".  Hehe.  Also the TV is crazy here.  ON the plane we watched Masqerade where people dress up and re enact some kinda strange scene.  You may have seen the ping pong one.  Also this morning there was a tv show where competitors had to guess which woman, was really a man.  hehe, great way to stasrt the morning.
 
 
Anyways, gonna explore more of this crazy city!
John.
