Tokyo Time

Well we made it to Tokyo! The flight there was long but actually not too bad. Japan Air is a pretty nice airline to fly, everyone gets there own TV and everything. The vegetarian meals were a bit weird, the best one being when everyone else got an ice cream sandwich I got a real sandwich with just veggies on it haha. But we made it to the hostel with no problems, the train system here is good and not to hard to figure out. The hostel itself is a bit small and noisy, but not bad really.

I think Tokyo was a good choice to begin my travels because so far it seems big and crazy and different form home, but at the same time its clean and safe and easy to get around. We spent the day yesterday getting to know the neighborhood we are staying in. There are tons of temples and gardens to wander around, and we found a huge park with a pond that we rented a little boat and paddled around for a while. We also went to this crazy drum museum where you could play almost all the drums which was pretty awesome. I'll try to post some pictures soon, but for now I'm going to explore the city some more.
