Tokyo Here I Am

Tokyo Tower After an hour delay on the tarmac and a 13 hour flight next to a crying baby and a coughing old geezer, I finally made it to the very cool Park Hotel in Shiodome Towers in Tokyo! With a view like the one above of Tokyo Tower from our room’s very large window, I already love the hotel. The bed’s nice, the lobby seems cool with live music most nights and it seems pretty central to a lot of places worth checking out.

I even managed to have my first udon noodles of the trip last night at some small noodle shop around the corner where you ordered from a vending machine, then brought the ticket spit out to some tiny lady hiding in a tiny kitchen who whipped up your meal in what seemed like 2 seconds. Of course the vending machine was all in Japanese with only 3 photos and something like 50 options, but picking dinner Deal or No Deal style seemed to work well.

I have to remember to pull myself from the live broadcasts of Lovely Complex and get out of the hotel as much as possible.
