Home for the week

Have arrived at our apartment in Tokyo 16 hours since we left our house in Melb. Our flight was relatively cruisy. Michael and I just read our books basically the whole trip. The food was surprisingly nice, and we didn't touch our snacks we bought in advance (forgot that Qantas is full service so you get heaps!) except for the beef jerky that I had to smash down when we realised bringing animal products to Japan was illegal (even stuff bought in the airport). Customs and immigration were hectic, as was getting the train but we got there in the end and made our way here.

Our accoms is lovely. $170 a night. We have a full serviced apartment with laundry, kitchen, and a heated bidet toilet. Michael was especially happy about that. It's a decent size for Tokyo and it has extra blankets and mattress toppers plus a good heater, so couldn't ask for much better! Plus, the neighbourhood is very local and in a range of tiny alleyways, so it feels very safe and is super quiet.

Ducked out quickly to get me my tuna cans to cover my breakfasts (I always eat tuna as soon as I wake up in the morning) and got some little hot items to nibble on to settle our tums. Curry bread, beef and potato croquette and a piece of spicy fried chicken. All very yummo and so cheap. 7/11 is 200m away from where we are.Read more
