ALB to NRT - Day One

















After a full 24 hours of travel from door to door, I finally arrived at Tokyo Narita International Airport.  Exhausted to say the least, but grateful to have made it in one piece.  Jet lag and culture shock have set in, yet my excitement of being here is keeping me going.  Taking the train from the airport to the city center.




















Japanese businessmen commuting home from a day at work.

















Outside the Ryokan (a traditional Japanese Inn) where I am staying for the first few days.  This is located in Asakusa, about 20 minutes Northeast from downtown Tokyo.

Currently have a Japanese student from Tokyo. He's doing a presentation Friday on the lesser known cultural traditions of the city. Has already mentioned the benefit of commuting being extra sleep.
