Today was fantastic! I arrived in Tokyo around 7.30am and then took the bus from Narita airport to Tokyo Station because it was cheaper than taking a train lol
(Keidei bus: Narita to Tokyo Station 80 minutes = 1,000 yen)
Then I went on a tour with Hato Bus. It was an open-top double decker city view tour. I got to see Tokyo famous tourist attractions from the second level! We drove through Asakusa, Sumida river, Tokyo Skytree, Akihabara, and Ginza. The tour guide only speaks Japanese, but she gave me an automated audio guide, which helped only a bit because it is not a translation of what she said and probably didnt cover at least 70% that she said lol My favorite part of the tour was Tokyo Skytree! Sooooo pretty :) It was very cold though, but I'm glad I did it!
( Hato Bus Best View Open-Top Drive: Tokyo Skytree = 1,800 yen)
After that, I needed to head to the apartment that I booked through airbnb.com. I was very nervous because the train system in Tokyo looks very complicated and i had to take two trains to get the apartment while dragging my suitcase and my stuff. Turned out that the hardeest part was figuring out how to purchase the Suica card lol I was just so confused, so I decided to asked the ticket seller and he gladly assisted me :) Once i got that down, it wasn't that difficult to get to the apartment. Just a tad bit ... bumbly because I couldn't find the elevator in some places so I had to haul the luggage up and down the stairs... Yup...
(My Suica card = 2,000 yen)
Arrived safely at the apartment around 2 pm. It is much smaller than I thought, but it's very clean and it has everything: water kettle, ectric stove, microwave, vacuumed cleaner, and air-conditon! It's very cozy and very close to a 7/11 so I bought an Onigiri, a bottle of green tea, a garlic cheesebread, and a creampuff! I was super hungry. I ate some and then took a two hour nap because I didn't get much sleep on the night flights.
(Food from 7/11 = 487 yen)
Woke up around 4.50pm to get ready. Left the apartment to go meet my friends in Shinjuku! They are friends who went to the same college in the US, so I was very glad to meet them again. We talked and laughed so much!
(Dinner = 0 yen Paid by my friends <3 )
Then I went to Shibuya station on my way back to the apartment and walked around for a bit. Got to see Shibuya crossing at night too! It was very pretty. I was one of many tourists who were there, trying to get pictures/ videos of people crossing lol #noshame :P
I'm now back in the apartment, waiting for my friends to arrive since they flew a different flight from Bangkok. Today was very eventful and tiring, but I'm very happy to be here <3
Tokyo is awesome.
Can't wait for what's more to come.
