Ahoy!
Deena and I have arrived in tokyo! And so far we only got lost once, which is pretty good i think considering We dont know any Japanese.
After the flight , we immideatly got our train passes and hopped on a train to asukasa station where our hostel is. On our way to the hostel we saw a giant golden turd, at least thats what it was according to a friend of mine {thanks jen}
After looking for our hostel for about 30 min i ask a younger person on the street if he knows where it is. He doest speak english, but he tells us to go to the police station across the street for directions. Not really understanding him , we walk the opposite direction, only to have him run after us and take us to the station himself. He explaoins to the officer where we are trying to go and the officer draws us up a little map {that was of little help}. We took a spiral pattern around the blocks to look for the hostel, only to find it in the centre of the spiral we took.

I will post some pictures of our adventures soon.

also, its interesting to note that of all the bikes that we saw on teh streets, only one of them was actually locked…. hows that for trust?

avi and out
