My liccle sisters twenty first birthday!!! It was eight forty five AM in Tokyo on the twentieth but only eleven forty five on the nineteenth in England I thought it would be novel to ring her from the different time zone (as if we were in the future), she did not answer, I left a voicemail for her. We headed out and Sarah today for the first time hadn't planned a big route for us to take so we dropped our bags in reception and headed out, it was ten AM, we wal...

Back in Tokyo and the sun was shining round the side of our curtain, I slept like a log (didn't wake up in the fire place though). It was only eight o'clock, eleven o'clock in England so I wondered if there would still be any family or friends still online but just Paul was on, I say just Paul because he always seems to be online.
