We finally arrive in Japan! It's about 4pm on Sunday evening as we land, but with the time zone difference, it's really about midnight back home. Not too bad yet, but Les and I decide to stay up as long as we can so we can adapt better. They say going westward for travel is easier than vice versa, but it doesn't mention anything about zombie red eyes or random bouts of narcolepsy.
We check into Century Southern Hotel in Shinjuku (the train station is the 2nd busiest in the world), and we have a pretty good view of Mt Fuji from our top floor room. (Yes, I wrangled some freebies because we are newlyweds and celebrating our honeymoon). Room is nice, and includes the highest-tech toilet seat ever devised. It has a seat warmer, a bidet, and some sort of spray thingy. I think it also has an ejection seat built-in so I'm afraid to pull any levers.
30 mins to relax before we hit the city tonight and get some food to eat. In the meantime, here are some random notes: -
- Public Enemies movie with Johnny Depp - good movie if you also enjoy watching water boil
- District 9 - weird, yet strangly interesting
- The Informant (Matt Damon) - Mix "The Insider" with Ocean's Eleven and stir. Result is a sweet cocktail with a bitter aftertaste.
