Konichi Wa Tokyo! (Japan, Pt. 1)

We spent a whirlwhind four and one half days in Japan, split between one day in Kyoto, and the rest in Tokyo. Overall experience: Amazing. Sight-seeing: Unbelievable. Food: To die for from.

After flying with the sun for 11 hours, we arrived in Tokyo on the afternoon of the 14th. After getting checked into the hotel, we spent some time walking around Shinjuku, a young and trendy area, seeing a TON of young Japanese enjoying a pleasant Thursday night.

We hit an internet cafe/comicbook cafe/(sleeping cubicle?). It was very weird, each computer was in a tiny cubicle that had a comfortable seat, with a pair of slippers and a locker. In addition, there was a shower in case you had a REALLY epic WoW game.

After grabbing a quick bite (still not sure what we ordered), that we could hardly eat, we headed back to the hotel and conked out around 10.
