OK Tokyo

Tokyo so far is a bit less hectic than I'd expected and, although we've mainly gone to touristy things, there's a pretty high degree of tat about...

Feeling very good about being here though. Glad it's not the last stop on our journey as I think we'd be sorely tempted to buy up big on aforementioned tat - so much kooky/cute/kitsch stuff to be had!

So far the food is amazing, had excellent gyoza yesterday and a delicious soba noodle today. Isco had tempura prawn with udon noodle soup, also very tasty. Keep thinking of a story about my fussy hairdresser, who was apparently starving in Tokyo because he's vegetarian, and giggling to myself - there is SO much good to eat here, vego and meaty.

Hoping to check out some bars/nightlife tonight as we must soon prepare for a 4am start to get that bloody plane to Toyama\Vlad.

Haven't yet worked out how to upload pix, that will be my next challenge.
