Japan
We departed Australia and arrived safely in Japan. We flew on a 747 and we actually sat upstairs.Well we arrived in Japan and it was interesting. Our Hotel we stayed in was really nice. It had one of those toilets that not only flushes but sprays up a nice stream of water. At first it was strange, and after a few seconds it becomes disturbingly comfortable.
We tried to withdraw some money but all the ATMs were not accepting our cards so we exchanged the $10 Australian we had left. Across the road was a 7/11 like store where we bought some noodles and a few other little odds and ends. Both the noodles smelt like fish. Its strange buying something which has absolutely no english on the box.
Next morning we were able to check in for our flight to London and put our bags in etc from the hotel foyer which made things easy. No transporting luggage to airport. Breakfast that morning was awesome. It had the stanard bacon, eggs, etc but also had lots of foods. They had boiled eggs, pancakes, fried rice, egg rice, steamed dim sims, and lots of other strange things. Japanese Picklese???? Strange...
That was pretty much Japan in our 18 hours there.
