Upon Arrival































































1. This is my meal on the plane ride to Japan. One of the great things about being a vegetarian (among many) is that you get your meal before everyone else and they can all smell it and get heaps jealous! The plane ride was 10 hours, through the night. I didn't get much sleep as I was too anxious ... and itchy! Yucko.

2. This is the first glimpse we got of Suburban Tokyo from our bus which drove us from Narita Airport to Atsugi City which took about two hours. We were all so exhausted and trying to stay awake as there was so much to look at out the window! I found the road ways in Tokyo pretty amazing. There were lots of roads built up like bridges and you could look down and all the houses were underneath you.

3. After we arrived at our accommodation in Atsugi, we went on a mission to find food. We were absolutely starving. This is taken as we walked to the city centre for the first time. This walk became quite familiar as we did it several times a day. We noticed a change in the leaves during the time we were there as Autumn turned to winter.

4. Vending machines! The first of many... soo many. They were on literally every corner and inside buildings as well. Even in older suburban streets you would still find them. The beverages inside were always exciting! For example: grape Fanta, Mint Julip drink and Pink Grapefruit! Yum.
