I have arrived

It has been a long day but I am here. It seemed like forever waiting at the airport, then forever for the flight, then suddenly I was in Japan and navigating busy hallways with people that definitely knew where they were going. I sort of slowly meandered through the halls until I figured out what I was doing. Lucky for me I have travelled enough to get by. Also lucky for me, the trains are colour coded and the information desk people speak English and are incredibly helpful. I finally got to the hotel and arrived at the same time as my roommate - Kateraina. I walked in the door a few minutes before she did.
After a quick shower we braved the world and went out to get some dinner. Can I just say, we are so spoilt in NZ not to have people smoking in restaurants anymore. It was gross sitting beside a man who smoked like a chimney. The first place we went to was selling a lot of entrails and it felt like everyone was smoking, so we jumped ship and found place that did ramen and picky bits like edmame. There were pictures of the foods so it was simply a matter of pointing. It was also pretty cheap. I tried a drink called White Stallion. I think it was a beer but I am not actually sure. It was very light coloured and tasted like a mix between beer, lemon, soda water and vodka. It was odd but refreshing and I will definitely order it again.
Anyway, it is time for bed. Oh, one last thing... the toilets! They are amazing and have so many option buttons - like a privacy button which means it plays music while you go hahahaha.
