Tokyo Time

I arrived in Tokyo, last evening. I have only travelled from the airport to the ryokan where I am staying, so I don’t have much to say about Tokyo, yet.

I had to wake up in Auckland at 5:00am, which was 2:00am Tokyo time. I finally arrived at my ryokan at 7:00pm. It was a long day of travel!

The “premium economy” class on Air New Zealand was very good. As well as the bigger seat and more legroom, we got the same meals as business class, including wine. Each passenger even had their own interactive terminal with movies and tv on demand – but the system had the crappiest user interface and controller I’ve ever seen! It was also running on Windows CE. How do I know? Because it crashed! When rebooting, the Windows CE logo flashed up, for a moment.

Now it’s time to go explore Tokyo….
