はじめの日！

今日は, first post in Japan! =DD

I arrived safely in Narita yesterday at 1.30 A.M. (Dutch clock), but didn't really had a nice flight. We had small turbulences during almost the entire flight and since the leaning of my seat was broken I had to sit/sleep straight up for the entire flight.

I still have this unreal feeling that I'm back in Japan again, although everything looks so familiar. After Narita Airport, we went to Shinjuku with the JR Narita Express where we traveled to Koenji-Kita station through the Marunouchi Line. It was the wrong station though so we had to walk about 20 minutes to the correct station (JR Koenji Station) with our luggages. My first impression of our guesthouse was: "OMG so tiny!". Our guesthouse, Koenji Greenhouse, is located in a back-alley near the JR Koenji station right along with a hostess club next to us. The rooms are very small, you can't even put your luggage in it. But the people are very nice here (I think Boy and Dope have taken an interest in an American girl who's also staying at the guesthouse).

After a short rest in the guesthouse, me, Boy and Dope (Werner and Colin haven't arrived yet) went to Shibuya. When we arrived at the Starbucks in the Shibuya crossing and when I had a Green Tea Frappuccino in my hand, I was in bliss. After that, I showed Boy and Dope where all the cool shops are in Shibuya (Bape store, ABC Mart etc.). We didn't stay very long in Shibuya, because Colin and Werner were about to arrive at Koenji and Boy wasn't feeling very well with his dried contacts. So we went back to Koenji to pick up the two, had a little rest in the guesthouse again and went to Akihabara afterwards because I need to buy a camera. So we went to Yodobashi Camera where I scored a Fujifilm Finepix Z300. Werner went crazy on the store but hasn't bought anything yet.

We walked a bit through Akiba but decided to eat at Ueno since Boy wanted to try out Yakiniku. So we went to the restaurant where we ate a few times last year at Ueno, omg I almost forgot how the tasty meat was sooooo tasty again. Boy and Werner went for the a bit more expensive beef (NOT Kobe Beef!) and that meat was so soft!! Too bad I wasn't feeling ok (I was very very tired and I had a stomach ache because I haven't eaten a lot during the day), so I couldn't fully enjoy the meal.

After yakiniku, we decided to go back to our hostel since everybody was tired from the flight.

I woke up at 4 A.M., I think I am a bit struck by jetlag. :( Today we'll go to Tokyo Dome to buy baseball tickets (Yomiuri Giants vs Hanshin Tigers once again!) and we'll head to Harajuku after that and will be having dinner at the Outback! =DDDD

From today on I will be shooting a lot of pictures, it will be uploaded on my photobucket site!!!
