Hey,
How's everything in Australia? Today it rained. It's a nice change from the dryness. Today I had my first ride on the Tokyo subway. It was really confusing trying to figure out how to find the Sobu line. On top of that it was pouring. We only had the one umbrella and it wasn't big enough for all of us. We ended up asking the ticket person where the platform for the Sobu line was. It turned out that we had passed it about five times. We were pretty much running around for 15 minutes in the rain. We went to the biggest Hyuku (100) Yen (en) store in Tokyo. It had FIVE storeys!! It was soooooo much fun. We were running up and down the stairs looking at everything. then we realised there was a lift. All that running around for nothing. When we had finished at the Hyuku Yen store we decided we should stop and have lunch at a takoyaki (Deep fried octopus) place we passed earlier on. We walk back up Takeshite (Ta-ke-shi-te) street and we couldn't find it. We decide to go home on the train. We went downstairs to the cafeteria and had lunch there. We sat down and started eating when we saw my dad and his host Professor, Yoshiro (Yo-shee-ro). They sat down to eat with us. After lunch we went back to our apartment and relaxed and watched YouTube videos (considering we can't understand the TV here so we watch YouTube) We're going to go back to Takeshite street again when it's not raining now that we know how to get there.
See you later,
Chloe

DAY 1 29/9/2010
Hey everyone,
Don't worry I made it to Japan in one piece. I'm still pretty tired though. I had to get up at 5am so I could catch the plane. When we got to the terminal and through customs and security we bumped (not literally) into my old teacher librarian. It was cool seeing her. Our first plane boarded at 8am. It was a 10 hour flight to Incheon airport, near Seoul in Korea. On the plane to Koera I watched "Dairy of a Wimpy kid". Big mistake! What ever you do don't see it. I ended up playing on my DS. I know it's kind of lame but the movies were horrible and the TV shows were worse. The food was okay though. We had to transfer to another flight at Incheon. The flight to Japan was about an hour and a half. We got to Narita Airport at about 10pm (11pm you time). We cleared Customs and Immagration in record time. By the time we got to the hotel we were all exasted. That was last night. Today we moved into our new apartment. The apartment block we're staying at is on the Sophia University Campus which is across the road from the New Otani Hotel. The apartment has 3 bedrooms (Thank God I don't have to share with my brother). The aparment we're staying in is small, but bigger than I expected. Toyko is HUGE. There are soooooo many tall buildings. It is really warm here and really humid, but they are just coming out of summer. My dad has to start work tommorrow so we're going out to explore the city.
Have fun at school.
