Dinner

So we thought we'd try to get some food. Ok, here comes a challenge. Took a while to find somewhere reasonably priced so then we headed back towards the station and found this little gem. Well we thought with plastic models of the food outside and pictures inside we could not go wrong: well we ordered some dumplings, what we thought was probably a duck and bean sprout stir fry and a kind of veg sweet and sour turned out to be liver with squid and lotus stem - not what we went in for but actually not too bad really. The dumplings were delicious though!

Expensive!!

Well found a kind of department store for a mooch around. Boy it's pricey: £200 for a wallet and over £100 for a top! Might give the shopping spree a miss thanks! Everyone else here seems to be in a festive mood though as I guess they are snapping up little nick knacks for New Year which is an important time for family.

Arrived in Tokyo!

Well it's certainly a different world in Japan - struggled with finding our bearings a bit with not much to go on language wise! Managed to get our rail passes and got the Express train into Tokyo. Hotel right in main shopping district so took a walk around to acquaint ourselves with the area. This is fun!

Heathrow

All packed and organised! Checked in and ready to go - next stop Tokyo :)
