Leaving On A Jet Plane

We got into Tokyo airport at 8am.
It took over and hour and half to catch the train into Tokyo.

We found our Airbnb cell for the week without too much trouble. We had screen shots of every moment of the walk from the metro station to our Airbnb, only problem was that the first instruction of turn left as soon as you leave the metro station should have been turn right, but somehow Sam found a guy who spoke mandarin and they discussed the directions in Chinese in Tokyo and found which way we should be going.

It rained on our heads as we found our way. Tired, hungry and wet, don't you just love travel, I thought at one point as we made our way.

We ate at a fast Japanese food restaurant. We had our second cup of shit coffee. We went to a supermarket and bought fruit. Everything and I mean everything is wrapped in plastic in the supermarket. Every piece of fruit was in gladwrap. (Ironic that they use the term glad)

We bought strawberries which were already in a plastic container and the cashier put them in their own separate plastic bag before she put them in the plastic carry bag. That was three different plastic wrappers for the strawberries. Thumbs up for the planet.

We fell in a heap and slept until 6pm.
