Scababadabadoooo. We had such a lazy day! Woke up with a killer hangover, felt like I was dying so passed out back into bed about 12 and slept straight through all day.. was most definitely needed! I had forgotten what a good sleep felt like. When we finally woke up, Jared (oz dude) and his travelling partner Angela came with us for a meal. We decided on Indian.. we had been craving it ALL day! Good god it felt good to be eating a curry again, I almost felt at home.. almost. It was a little overpriced but delicious all the same! Chicken Dopiaza at its best. We continued our lazy day in style by all of us crashing out in our Hut room drinking 100 yen (thats about 70p) vodka and lemon cans and watching ... read more

As most of you know, I am not a morning person. When I say mornings I mean anything from before 12pm.....nevermind 5am! This is the time I got up today! The reason I was up at this god-awful-time in the morning is because of Tsukishima fish market! It is world famous and is apparently most buzzing before dawn, which turned out to be true! Aside from the vile smell, it is pretty interesting. I saw some of the biggest fish I've ever seen in my life, being chopped up.. lovely! (some were still alive). A couple of my friends thought it was a must to eat some sushi after watching these large fish being quartered, however the thought of it churned my stomach. I can handle sushi when it's with rice and other flavouring, but they ... read more

WOOOOOOOOO fun day! I have officially fallen in love with everything about japan.. from the culture, to the place itself, to the style! I have so far not seen one japanese person dressed badly, every girl is in heels! it is my mission to become as fabulously dressed as them. Today is Sunday and we went to Harajuku! On Sundays japanese girls dress in doll outfits in Harajuku, Im not entirely sure why but they e such cute outfits. So this place is incredible... in terms of shopping.. it is every girls dream! Sky high buildings and endless roads of all the best brands and shops. We went into Topshop and H&M and I could not believe how expensive they were! crazzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy. My favourite part of Harajuku was this one long narrow road completely full of ... read more

What an amazing day! Just arrived in Tokyo and just as we were walking through I realised I forgot my pillow and had to run back onto the plane, duh! The weather is incredible and Japan is just like you imagine it. Little hut style houses everywhere!! So once at the airport we got the train to Shinjuku which was pretty expensive but a very long journey. Loved the trains, totally poo all over Virgin trains back home. Once in Shinjuku we got the shinjuku subway line to Akebonobashi, 2 stops from Shinjuku which is where our hostel is. Found it pretty easily and absolutely love our hostel! Its called The Ace Inn. We have only booked it for 4 days but most likely will extend as its perfect location and very friendly. We have free ... read more
