This is Tokyo

  • The chick on the airplane was far from friendly
  • Tokyo airport was clean and quite easy to get out of
  • I was a only a little unsure of where I was going
  • The hostel, K’s House Tokyo, was farily easy to get to

  • Thank you to the old lady who noticed i was turned around. sorry we couldn’t communicate what-so-ever
  • Remember to never try to book a popular hostel less than 24 hours in advance – they will be full
  • I ended up getting back on the train and to my original hostel.
  • Now i’m tired of carying these bags. why couldn’t i just have a little backpack?
  • Thank you to the old man who ran the convenience store for noticing i was lost (he come out side and waved his hand for me to come to him)
  • Thank you for the dry cleaner who helped me out after i got lost a second time
  • Thank you hotel koyo for only being 25 bucks.

Thank you God for sending the angels I prayed for to surround my son on hs trip. Were some in the form of an old lady and an old man…
You know what I always say, ” I don’t mind getting lost because I always find a new interesting place,” but, in Japan?!
Brandon I am so happy you are there, seize the moment! You should see the smile on my face as I look at your pictures.
Everything looks very clean.
