We made it to Tokyo!!! Getting to the hostel was a bit of an experience.... it was about an hour from the airport by train - somehow we managed to figure out the subway system and lots of connections on basically no sleep. We also had our huge backpacks, daypacks and travel purses... quadrupling our size and making walking quite the task. When we made it to our final stop we had a ten minute walk to the hostel, which was very tucked away and hard to find. Our room is roughtly the size of my bathroom, and one of the bunkbeds is in a closet (literally)... but you get what you pay for and this is the cheapest hostel we could find - and everyone is very nice here. Actually so far everyone in this counrty is very nice and helpful... and quiet and clean. We went to a Korean place for dinner (thought it was going to be Japanese) and had an awesome meal. Our waitress did not speak english and there was not an english menu - but willy knew a bit about korean food so we had a platter of different raw meats that we cooked ourself (still not sure what one of them was). Now we are getting ready to really explore the city - we are about 10-15 min outside of the main parts of tokyo by train - we got here in the dark last night so its pretty exciting to actually see the city. Lots of love to all!! miss you all lots and will try to write again soon (i'm shocked this hostel has wifi, it was a lovely surprise to find out that it actulaay works). Oh and i think i threw my back out a little when I sat up in my rock hard bunk bed... so i'm a bit worried about that. LOVE LOVE LOVE
