Hello from Tokyo. Arrival was interesting... Quarantine came on board in hazmat suits, zapped us with infrared cameras and gave us all masks and kept us waiting almost an hour. Poor people near row 18 (3 up and back) had to stay behind cuz some kid in row 18 was sick! Got out as soon as they gave us the clear only to be stopped again (media was there too!).

Anyway...made it into Tokyo finally. Have been having a great time. Lots of eating, lots of shopping (the usual for me I guess?!).

Wandered between Shinjuku, Harajuku & Shibuya first day.
Yesterday went to see the Chiba Marines. Baseball team 2 hours away from Shinjuku. Was loads of fun.

Gotta go...will try to add more later.
Kampai!
