yeah yeah so i promised to photoblog and twitter from japan. i didn’t. but its not for lack of trying. turns out free wifi is not very prolific in japan. seems their cell network is just too damn good. i brought my 2G iphone as my sole connection to the internet. so that meant no 3G connection and no wifi connection. if i hadn’t preloaded the iphone with subway maps and other travel resources it would have been a brick.
japan was freakin’ amazing though. love tokyo. we were there for two weeks then left to travel around for a week and then one last day in tokyo before flying back to van. when we arrived back in tokyo for that last day, it felt like coming home.
i was pretty apprehensive on the way over about getting around but man once you figure it out its so frickin’ easy. you can go anywhere you want so quick and if you get a Suica card you don’t even have to think about what the correct fare is. which is good cause your brain so so busy taking in everything there is to see and do over there.
did a bunch of shopping and wandering around just soaking it all in. shibuya and shinjuku (our home base) are awesome little areas to hang out in. so many experiences i don’t think i can remember them all or put them to paper.
perhaps more will dribble out over time. definitely need to go back sometime soon.
a couple pics are up on my flickr.
oh and my new favourite dish can be found here. i think it was number 22 from the vending machine.
