Tokyo
Right I’m in Tokyo now, staying in a hotel for 12 quid a night with free internet access not bad eh? Just got the shinkansen up from Onomichi today, took 5 hours - they are amazing beasts. We’re off to Akehabera now, to buy some electrical goods. I’m thinking of getting an ipod nano for 100quid. Also thinking about getting a laptop, giong to see if we can find a compatable one. Then we’re going to check out Ebisu before meeting a friend of Bruce’s in Shibuya and going to catch the England game. It starts at midnight here, so we’ll be doing an allnighter since the trains finish about 12.30 and it is far to far to get back here by taxi - Tokyo is massive!
We were meant to go to watch the Japan youth team at the national stadium today with a friend of Bruce’s who is a coach, but our train arrived too late. With our train passes we’re not allowed to get the fastest Shinkanse, the Nozumi cos it’s really expensive, but Bruce does it and reckons you never get checked, but me and Colin chickened out cos the fine is about 600sheets. So we got the slightly slower one and missed the game. Oh well. Would have been good, meeting Yuji, the coach, later anyway.
So the plan is food, then footy then all night karaoke! Excellent. Actually think I’m going to have a power nap for half an hour, cos we wont be back here till about 5am or so.
Oh, i’ve added a couple of photos in the gallery of the wedding.
