We're here!

20/2/11

Arrived at Narita airport, got in a seemingly pointless shuttle train that took us maybe 50 metres to customs.

Took us a while to organise the collection of the missing luggage, we will be collecting it tomorrow from the airport. Maybe...

Customs was a breeze to get through, as was immigration. And yes, they did have a strange fingerprint scanner (and yes it was futuristic. And cool).

The first food I ate here was a 'german dog' ...aka a regular hotdog.

Okay. Get pumped get seriously pumped for this.

...My first vending machine experience was at the train station. They. are. unbelievable. On Sam's recommendation I selected the hot corn soup from the 40" touch screen.  At ¥120 it tasted surprisingly good.

Sitting on the train at the moment, heading towards tokyo. The train is fast, clean, quiet, the seats are heated and there is no gum on the floor. It. is. bizarre.

I'm writing so much today to make up for the likely lack of writing there will be in the next few days.
