All those stories about jet lagged westerners wandering the streets of Tokyo in a daze in the middle of the night are true - I (Nic) am writing this at 4 in the morning, unable to sleep yet unable to do anything vaguely useful either. After a 24 hour train/plane/train journey I finally arrived in Tokyo, exhausted but pleased to be here. Although I didn't get a plushy upgrade to business class it was a good flight. All we wanted to eat this evening was a dirty burger so we went to Wendy's in Niramasu, the next suburb along from where we are staying in West Tokyo. Things we have learned today:
* Japan Airlines kicks British Airways' ass
* Carrying a big suitcase is much easier on the Tokyo Metro than on the London Underground
* Wendy's in Japan is just as nice as in the US
* Teenagers are stoopid wherever in the world you go
* Everything in Tokyo is 'kawaii' - from the cute cartoons of immigration officials at the airport to the lovely tunes played on the trains to tell you that the doors are closing
