We LOVE Tokyo!  We just arrived yesterday and already we're making plans to stay a week longer in Japan.  The city is so exciting, lots of energy, but not in an out of control chaotic sort of way that we experienced in Bangkok.  Everything is very clean, people are quite friendly, speak little English and all the menus are completely, 100% in Japanese. 

The whole subway experience is fascinating.  One station we got off on, Shinjuku, apparently has 200 different exits from the station, and is the busiest staion in Japan handling more then 2 million people a day!  It truly is an obstacle just trying to find your way to the street out of the station, but fun.  We were proud of ourselves that we managed to get from Narita Airport on our own to the hotel, however our main difficulty again was trying to just get out of the enormous station.

We had an exciting day with Shane (an employee of Jason's who happens to be visiting his g/f in Japan) and Asuko.  We explored our immediate area of Ginza for a bit, and then headed over to Shinjuku which was a blast.  From bars, to restaurants, to train stations, and more bars, it was an exciting night in Tokyo for us.  Thank goodness for Asuko, who was able to order and translate for us, since really there is no English on the menus.

Although we're getting a late start this morning, we're so excited to get out an get lost in this amazing city!
