Outside our hotel...


"First sighting of Japan"


"To Tokyo!"
Vouchers we procured from the travel agency were exchanged for the real limousine bus tickets. It takes around 1 hr 45 minutes to reach Shinagawa Prince Hotel. This is the first time we encountered "compulsory belt-up" on a bus.

"Shinagawa Prince Hotel"
Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan.
This room is on the 26th floor. Access to levels are divided into 3. Green, pink and I have no idea what. Pink was for level 16-30 if I remember correctly.

18 degrees out. Fantastic weather.

The meals on during the flight was surprising. In the sense that the amount they gave was quite a lot. Besides breakfast, there was also some egg roll given out for "tea".


"Breakfast"
Funny thing about this was I crammed a lot of stuff in my sister's bag thinking that we'd be starving on the plan. But no...Delta's breakfast is pretty decent. Besides this meal, there was free flow of water, juice, coffee or tea.


Post trip remark

The flight to Narita Airport was smooth. I thought that I would be able to sleep some, seeing that I woke up at 2am and was at the airport by 3:30 am, but nope, no such luck there.

Delta has an in-flight entertainment system, for long-haul international trips, you can watch movies for free. There's an email system, but you've got to pay for it :(


"In-flight entertainment system"
It also has a GPS tracking system where you can see stuff like distance travelled, temperature outside the plane etc.

In the to-trip, I managed to catch 2 movies and some sitcom episodes. Return-trip was 3 movies and heart-thumping experience in a storm over Philippines, but more on that later.

First day was tiring, so we just stayed at the room. Peering out, we could see the Tokyo Tower lit up if we stretched our necks long enough.


"Tokyo at night"
Something we noticed was the frequency of ambulance wailing in Tokyo. It's there every night. Pretty freaky actually.

Mission Checklist
  1. Reach Tokyo, Japan
  2. Dinner & walk around wing takanawa FAIL
  3. (optional) play arcade
  4. WATCH HNA ON TBS (9pm SG or 10pm JP)
