Day 1: Dream Land

And I mean "dream land" in two ways: Tokyo and actual sleep. Having slept only 5 hours in the past 2 days, my first destination here in Tokyo is this very bed in my cozy little hotel room.

My strategy for combating the formidable foe that is jet-lag is sleep deprivation. The idea is that by the time I check into my hotel room around 8:00 PM and unpack, wash up, check my email, etc., it's bedtime and I am more than ready to sleep through the night.

So far, this method has been pretty effective though it has its drawbacks. For instance, on the Skyliner train from Narita airport to Funabashi, I, for a nanosecond, thought there was a giant man walking in pace with the train. It turned out the be the reflection of the Keio employee walking through the car I was in.

Let's do the math: window(man + night + moving train)/exhaustion = believing in giants before thinking it's a reflection

*yawn*The Sandman beckons and I cannot resist his temptation any longer. Shibuya tomorrow!
