Hey All!
So, finally arrived in Japan safe and sound. It was a bumpy ride here, so it was hard to sleep on the plane. So, I'm very thankful for comfortable beds at our hotel.
We (JETs) are staying at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku, Tokyo. My flight arrived in Tokyo around 5 -- the JET Programme actually had a pretty efficient system set up (which suprised me, especially since Detroit's JET Programme Pre-Departure orientation was pretty hectic). There were tons of JETs, volunteering with Tokyo Orientation, placed around the airport. They told us where to go, so I never felt disoriented.
Once we arrived and went through customs, I sent off two pieces of luggage through a courier so I currently have one peice of luggage, my backpack, and my camera bag. I should get the luggage I shipped in a while (hopefully its not too long of a wait!)
It is very hot and humid here. Everyone kept telling me how humid it would be in the summer, but you don't really realize it until you're here. I'm really hoping it won't be too bad on the island with the ocean providing a nice breeze.
I have pictures uploaded on my account on Photobucket, so click HERE to check them out. Just pictures of the room and the view from the room.
Well, going to grab some dinner and go to bed. I'm so tired after that crazy long and bumpy flight.
Love you all!
Steph

ReplyDeleteI am glad you are safe in Tokoyo. Hopefully, you can get a good night's sleep.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures from the room, it looks very nice and comfortable. The pictures of outside surprised me because for being such a large city there are hardly any cars on the road. Talk to you later. Miss you and love you tons. :) I
