omg rofl japan has absolutely no accomodation!!

well talk bout learning things the hard way eh.. japan is like booked solid. youth hostels need to be booked 2 weeks in advance.. hotels need a minimum of 1 to 2 days.. obviously the cheaper ones need more eh..

first time i tried to change my flight back to melbs for an earlier one, went thru quantas, and they told me "screw you we dont care, go buy another ticket to aus if you wanna go home early".. so like.. after that was over it was too late to get a hotel *ANYWHERE* so i ended up sleeping at the airport.. which was interesting. airport closes at 11pm.. theres no trains, buses, taxis from there after that time either.. so it was lights out.. with security checking me and about 20 others passports 2 times (fair enuf its their job with all that gay terrorism shit anyway) so basically smoked ciggies all night and chatted to some jap guy that missed his last train. he was pretty cool, lives in NZ and was laid back compared to the rest of the ppl, so at least i ended up making a new freind eh.

well after 2 hours sleep that night and waiting to about 9am for breakfast etc i booked myself at a hotel nearby for a couple nights.. (which i just left on my way to visit anthea thanks to froggies help).. over there they had everything but i just slept almost solid for the 2 nights

weather isnt bad but aint great atm.. bout 25C every day but overcast.

ah went to like some center of tokyo.. talk about BUSY.. never seen so many ppl trying to cross the road in my life. took a movie of it.. bout 2-3000 ppl crossing the road every 1.5 minutes.. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall day.. i sat up in the starbucks (bleh) that overlooked this intersection to take the movie.. but man.. after watching it repeat about 4 or 5 times i started feeling sick (mebe the sheer amount of ppl) strangely enough there wasnt that much traffic hmm bizzaro.. but then again.. there wasnt any parking either heh..

anyway i am coming back early cos these accomodation shenanigans are causing me to stress more than enjoy myself.. be back in melbs on the 28th.. got a ton of pics and some great memories.
