After 20 hours of constant travelling I finally arrived at Narita airport, Tokyo. Even though I had alot of space in businessclass I couldn´t sleep more than about 15 minutes, total. Fortunately they had a wide range of exciting movies as "Music and Lyrics" with my favourite actor Hugh Grant and a german film about old women opening a lingiriestore.
Half alseep I managed to get on a train and get to Warabi where my future home were supposed to be. After taking a shortcut through Warabi which gave me 20 minutes more of walking than necessary I finally found W&F House. I had to sign a whole bunch of papers (hopefuly none which I promise to give away my kidne for free) and then I was showed my beautiful six squaremeter room.
Dealing with jetlag isn´t that easy as I thought. After a quick walk around Warabi I fell asleep, in the afternoon. Woke up in the middle of the night having no clue where I was and of course no chance going back to sleep. Slept through the morning and up again at 5pm. Brilliant.
Today I managed to get up at 1 pm and decided to take the subway in to Shinjuku which is the place you see in the beginning of Lost in Translation. Just walking around in Shinjuku is amazing, after a while it feels like your head is gonna fall off from looking up, down, up, down. It´s nearly to much to take in, not like in quite Warabi. A few hours walking around and I started to get tired and decided to get back. Not the smartest thing to do during rushhour if you only been in Tokyo for a day. The traincars are completely full and if you´re unlucky there is no sign that tells you wich station you are going to so you have to try listen to the japanese voice babbling in the speaker. I dont know how, but just by chance I managed to get of at Akabane station, switch train and get home. Now I´m going to try study some hiragana and katakana.
Thanks everyone back home in Helsingborg for turning up at japanese (arabic) restaurant Ichiban.

Ok, med andra ord ska Hanna och jag leta efter en snubbe som sitter och flyger på tisdag, blir nog ganska lätt. Apropå rusningstrafiken, du kommer att vänja dig; första gången jag hamnade i den fick jag panik och gick av efter en station.
