The Tokyo orientation was basically a lesson in sleep deprevation. We arrived after an 11 hour flight at Nara airport at 11.15am (japanese time) and were then ushered by countless recontracting JETs in bright orange t-shirts to waiting buses which devilered us to our hotel in Tokyo. The hotel was no less than the Keio Plaza (5stars and right in the centre of Tokyo) so that was quite nice. We then had the rest of the day to wonder around shinjitsu in Tokyo. To say there were alot of bright lights would be an understatement. It was sensory overload and we loved it, there was so much going on, punk bands playing on the street, street performers, countless japanese people in wierd super trendy japanese cloths, it was awsome. We got dinner at a random ramen place by pointing at the picture of the dish we wanted, the food was amazing, practiced my slurping. We did plan to go out and karaoke but by about 11 we were so tired it was all we could do to find our way back to the hotel and try and get some sleep for our welcome ceremony in the morning.
