Hajime no Posuto de Tokyo ni wa, konnichi waaaaaa!
Ok, our flight sucked big ass. Well the flight actual itself wasn't that horrible, but all the stuff that happened around it just sucked big time. My handluggage got checked EVERY time I went through the customs. My expensive creme (which I needed for in the airplane because I have a very dry skin) got thrown away along with my shampoo. But I bought a Japanese shampoo now for cheap, so that's not really a problem. The biggest problem was that Ambers luggage got missing when we arrived at Narita Airport. We were already worried because it took a damn long time and then the last luggage arrived but Ambers luggage was still nowhere to be found. Then some Japanese guy came along with a sign which had 2 names on it, some other guy and Ms. Pothoven. So we were like: "O shi..." Then he told us that the luggage got lost, it could be in Amsterdam or London, GREAT. The biggest problem was that Ambers medicines were in that luggage and she only had 2 days worth of medicines packed in her handluggage. So I hope they'll deliver the lugagge tomorrow ...
So anyways, we arrived in Narita. I went to buy a Suica Card (and stuffed 5000 yen in it) and we went with the Skyliner to Ueno. What we didn't know was that we couldn't use the Skyliner with the tickets we had, so along our fee of 1130 yen we had to pay 9200 yen more, GREAT 2. Anyways, we arrived in Ueno, the weather is here so hummid that my shirt got wet in an instant. And then another problem occured, we couldn't find the hostel. We were looking when a Japanese lady came to us and asked us if we needed some help. We told her that we were looking for our hostel and then she asked us where we came from. When she knew we were Dutch she began to talk in Dutch. We were like:"huh?" She had lived in Belgium and so does his son. So she and her son helped us find our hostel. But since the Japanese addresses are so friggin wicked that we wandered around the area for more then half an hour. It was so friggin hot and I was so tired from the flight that I felt like I could faint anytime. FINALLY we found the hostel, we thanked them and went in.
The hostel is quite nice, nice people and the room is ok. It has an own fridge and a (not so cool) airconditioner. But Filip (who is from Belgium) told us that we can change rooms if we want to. So we are content.
We haven't seen much of Japan yet, but we already met quite some extraordinary events.
Now we are at the hostel waiting for Sjoerd etc. and then we'll go have dinner at Ueno and visit an arcade.
Pictures will be uploaded later.

Woa, I hope Ambers luggage will be found soon! Otherwise you might have to look for similar meds in Japan -_-
Hope the rest of your stay will be without problems!
Have fun!
