It begins

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. It has been a bit hectic here in Japan. We got in at about 5 or so Tokyo time, but we were dead tired since neither of us really slept on the plane. It was warmer there than in Wisconsin, but not by much. We got to the hotel, but not after a slightly long bus ride that was not great for my car sickness. I didn't enjoy it. The hotel was really nice for about 90$. We had two kimonos and slippers set out for us. We took a picture, but couldn't get it on to a computer, so we will have to put that up some other time.

Also had some problems with the credit card right when we got there, but once you find the right ATM, it works ok.

We stayed with a couchsurfer named Yuji. He was hosting around 11 people with us there. It was pretty crowded, but the other surfers where nice (a bunch of french and german people). We spent more time riding the subway in Tokyo than anything else. The city is ridiculously huge. I did enjoy that part of it. However, the city was also pretty nice. It was super clean and a lot of people were very helpful.

Lily and I got what I really went to Tokyo for. RAMEN!!! It was delicious. The bowl was the size of my head, but I ate it all. Lily couldn't finish hers, but I can hardly blame her for that. 😊

After that...Thailand.

Japanese Etiquette
Did you slurp your soup? I forgot to make you watch Tom Green's Subway Monkey Hour. How did you know how to properly behave in Japan?! We can watch when you return...

Slurping...
I tried to slurp, but the three guys next to me were slurping so loudly, you couldn't hear mine. It was delicious though. And you paid in some sort of vending machine type thing. It was weird. I don't know about Tom Green, some of his stuff is weird, but I will probably watch it as I am deprived of TV right now.
