So today I arrived in JAPAN!!! After a McAustralia burger, a Japanese massage, a teary farewell, an arm full of luggage and a ten hour flight..I'm here! So I'm sitting 'here in my 5-star hotel room (yup!) clacking away on my laptop..
Today I have to myself, so I spent it wandering the streets of Shinjuku buying cheesy Japanese lollies and snacks (including many unimaginably-flavoured kit-kats), taking photos like a real tourist, and sipping a coffee in Starbucks as per my long-favoured tradition. It must be about 50 degrees over here, and the humidity is crazy! I've already had a shower today and I already feel like I need another one.
Tonight i'm meeting up with a Japanese friend of mine for dinner. She lives in Yokohama, which is about an hour away from here so we might go back to her place for dinner if we have time.
The view from my room is amazing! I'm on the 34th floor and am dwarfed by the surrounding sky-scrapers!
It's good to be around some foreigners though, there are a fare few Aussies around, (although only 3 going to Hokkaido). I forgot how difficult the language barrier is (probably due to forgetting most of my Japanese speaking skills!), so my first trip into the convenience store was a little daunting!
I'm off to have a nap-I feel like I've been up for days (and it looks like it too ha ha). I'm missing you all terribly! More soon!
All my love,
Samantha
