A short blog from Tokyo, where I'm currently at an Internet cafe in Shibuya. We're having a blast: the city is amazing, and despite the fact that absolutely no one (it seems) speaks English, we're able to get around quite easily. Our biggest challenge is eating; we're totally dependent on pictures to order anything, so text-only menus are out of the question.
Today we've visited the Imperial Palace (or as close as its possible to get), and now Shibuya. We're going to walk around the neighbourhood, and then head up to Shinjuku for a while, before returning to the other side of the city. On Monday we're going to Kyoto for a short visit, using the bullet train to get there.
Back to sightseeing!
