We're back live from Japan, its Saturday night...

Well, we made it....

After enduring an 8hr flight and 1hr train ride, we are in our hotel... One of the things I love about Japan is even craptastic little hotels like the one we are in tonight, has Wifi. Just turn on, chuck in the WEP key and its connected.

Anyway, for those that haven't been to overseas/Japan before, here are some pics to show you the way..

Brisbane Airport has a shop called Purely Merino that sells wool products... here's the statue out front. Its a sheep...
















On the plane, the serve refreshments... We got the beer kind. But be careful.. At 5.5% and flying, it creeps up on you.
















This is the other train that goes from Narita Airport to Tokyo.. Its a double decker Narita Express (N'EX).



Can't complain though. We got here, chucked our stuff in our room (after some language difficulties with the owners), then headed out onto the street for dinner.. Got a curry and a beer for 770Y.. Sorry, I don't have any pics of that..


One thing Japan is famous for is its convenience stores. We have one across the lane from us. All conbini in Japan sell booze. Here's their case of beers and pre-mixes..



And their wines and spirits


And here's some odd foods that they sell... No Mrs Mac's or Four n Twenty's here...


Lastly, here's my bro Dean... with the local brew in our room.




Will write more tomorrow, but now I'm stuffed, and I don't want to waste my battery any longer.

    Study is good today (thought I'd better throw in something serious!)

    Your hotel does look dinky and is deanie plastered? Actually he looks tired. Might be the beer and flight (and when combined too!).

    Football this afternoon (my one saving grace!)

    Knock a few brews away for me - nah bugger it, just drink a carton in honour of my absence.

  2. Dean’s just pulling a guerney. That was his first beer since about 2pm, so hardly likely to be plastered. In tomorrow’s post I’ll post up pics of the vending machines and the convenience stores.
