I Made It!

Today was a VERY long day. I was awake for over 24 hours!! We left the San Francisco airport at 11:20 and it took us over ten hours to fly to Narita, Japan. Our plane was a double decker plane. Midway through our flight, we crossed the international dateline and it became Tuesday instead of Monday.
Once we arrived in Japan, we had a two hour bus ride to our hotel in Tokyo. Our tour guide’s name is Kiko. She met us at the airport. She will be going to Akishima with my group later in the trip.

The Tokyo Prince Hotel is very nice. Once we arrived at the hotel, we had about fifteen minutes to freshen up and then we went down to the Sunflower room for a welcome speech, music, and to meet Fulbright Scholars from Japan who accompanied us to dinner.

I went with two other people and a man named Satoshi. He is a professor at a law school in Yokohama. For dinner we had shrimp, cucumbers, fish, radishes, and crab. The food was delicious! In fact, the crab was the best crab I have ever tasted!
