Mood: Daved and confused
Music: Pendulum - Immersion
Today has been a bit of a mess, mostly because most of it was used up travelling. I landed in Tokyo at about 6:30am this morning, having had about 2 hours sleep at most, and went to the transfer desk to get my boarding card for my onward flight. It was quite cold in Tokyo, about 4C when I arrived. This wildly contrasted to the 30C in KL and the jumper I'd taken out of my bag for this reason had been re-packed just before I left, not to be seen again until Incheon (Seoul international airport). I was then sat on my own for a good two hours in short sleeves before other people started appearing in the departure gates.
Once on the plane I fell asleep almost immediately. I recall taking off and then dozing again. After a couple of hours I woke up and chatted to the person sat next to me for a while.
On arrival I grabbed my bags and then tried to find an ATM. I then had to double check the rough exchange rate before withdrawing money (it's about 1800 won to the pound). My next job was to work out where to get my bus from and how to by a ticket. These were fairly straight forward and I initially got the impression that more people than I thought spoke English in the country. This would be proved wrong when I, as instructed, got a cab from the drop off point to the door of the hotel. It took several minutes on the phone with a translator before the taxi driver managed to get the address of the hotel I was staying at. After all that he drove around two corners and I'd arrived. Had I known where I was and where the hotel was, I'd have walked it in no more than 2 minutes!
My room is quite pleasant and I'm now, after several hours of sitting around, am going to have a nose around and then look for somewhere to get dinner from.
Wish me luck...
