Hi everbody,
Well I hope that this post works as I am doing it from a Japanese laptop and everything is in japanese, but I think that this is the right link!
Well after a rather hairy, and exciting take off in high winds I set off for Japan. It took 11 hours, The departed, The Illusionist, Love actually, 2 Magazines, half of abook and lots of water, but I arrived in Japan at 9 o`clock local time hence missing out entirely on a nights sleep as it was 9 in the morning local time when I arrived.
So 36 hours later is about now and I`m pretty knackered if I`m honest.
I was met by Toshiko, Mikio and Yasuo at Narita airport who are absolutely lovely and have shown me my first Japanese budhist temple.
I have had Japanese noodles for lunch (according to my body clock was 4.30 in the morning!)
Have also ridden on the train in rush hour to have a first look at a Tokyo market and then the train ride home (in rush hour) which was cozy ;-)
I feel rather out of place as I have seen thousands of Japanese and not a single Westerner since leaving the airport. Which is no bad thing as in general they suck. Present comany excepted.
Right well better go as tea is being prepared and it is 10.50 am UK time.

Hello mate, good to hear you've got there okay! I saw a plane take off on the news yesterday, it was mad!
I discovered a cure for jetlag - beer.
Enjoy!
Glad you got there okay - I did text to see if you'd actually been able to take off (as loads of flights were cancelled!) but as I didn;t get a reply I took it that you had.
Sounds like you're already having a whale of a time. Hope the jet lag doesn't get too awful! Enjoy the lack of Westerners - what no chips? :-D
