FINALLY!!

KONNBACHIWAAA MINNA SAN!
After several of hours by bus/train for both of us and a looooooong plane-trip, me and Trude finally reached (can you believe it?) TOKYO! It's still so unreal and I don't really know what to think. What I've seen so far was so... normal? It was actually really nice that it wasn't so extraordinary as I thought. But then... I've only seen Narita, the road to Shinjuku station and the sweet little neighbourhood Hatagaya.



When we reached Narita airport, me and Trude met up with a friend of mine from Facebook, Peter. He was at Narita to drop of his mother and was kind enough to invite us to lunch. It was nice to have like such a proper beginning to our stay here in Tokyo, so... yeah, it was really nice.
After lunch we agreed that he'd give us a tour around Tokyo tomorrow, so we were lucky there! And then, finally, me and Trude set out for our little sweet hostel. It's really tiny, but the people are all really sweet and the rooms are clean and nice. We even have slippers and toothbrushes! Something amazing happened on our trip to Hatagaya hostel, though! I SAW AN IDOL!! It was so weird, and so fun! I saw Koyama Keiichiro from NEWS as the bus waited for the lights to change. I have no doubt it was him, cause I looked at him for a looong time and he looked back, thought I think he thought I was weird. But I don't care! It was freaking Koyama! Not to mention that when we got the concert tickets today... we're sitting on the tenth row from the stage! IN TOKYO DOME! That's so extremely amazing it's weird. Haha.
After setteling in our room, we also went around the neighbourhood to just have a look around, and it's so sweet here. It's got this friendly, cozy feel to it. Like...not so "big town" as other things here in Tokyo. We found a small shopping street here too, and I managed to find two good jrock CDs for 500 yen, which is less than 50 norwegian kroner <3
But off I go! I'm hungry and I need to wake up trude from her beauty sleep.
Sayonara!
