Tokyo Prt1

heya guys,

Sorry guys no photos just yet. Soon though

we got to tokyo this afternoon. We caught the shinkansen(bullet train) from kyoto to here. Ive never seen anything like it! it goes sooooo fast. entire cities wiz by as you watch. if you glance away, the moutain ranges will change completely by the time you look back. the trip took about two and a bit hours and it was the distance from brissy to rocky. very cool.

We havent seen much of Tokyo yet, just the train station (at peak hour) and the hostel. He had dinner at a little ramen shop but flic forgot her electronic dictionary so i ordered a meal at random based on its price. It wasnt the best descision ive made. It ended up being cold ramen with a side of weird soup stuff- it tasted kind of like pure beef stock mixed with oil. On the plus side we found out Asahi sell even bigger bottles than we thought, so beer for all. Oh and on the search for the restraunt an old man pulled down his pants in the street. that put us a little on edge until we drowned our memories.

The hostel is nice. Very cosy rooms (meaning small) but awesome bathrooms.

take care

Alex
