Vicky, its madness right?! Right now its like the middle of the day for you guys but we've only just got in from a whole day out and about!
Vin, so far we can confidently say "Thankyou" and "Hello" and count to three :D (I only remember it because its what Ichigo's sisters call him; Ichi - Nii - San!)
I have a picture of me holding a TTGL image board book and something to do wityh Haruhi taken whilst we were in a manga-dungeon for when I get back :P

You finally reached Japan! Congrats!
Its really a pleasure to read all your exhaustive descriptions of the various places you visit on your travels. Words associated with the pictures give us a immersive feel, as if we take part in your adventures. Its really great. Keep posting!
Also, regarding the story of the dog Hachiko. A Person 3 (VG) playable character (Koromaru), the dog, has a similar background story, which leads me to believe it was inspired after the aforementioned.
Good luck with your Japanese, tell me what you learned when you get back!
Vicky
I can't believe I'm reading about you going to bed and I've only just started my lunch break, and when I get home you'll be getting up to go to places like fish markets! x

Haha, no, it was a bunch of teenagers all dancing to the same track in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government buildings :)

Hi mate just looked at your pictures it looks fantastic. Keep using the chopsticks and you can show me how to use them when you get home. What type of dance did you see as it sounds as if it was in the red light district
Ryan
Btw dad, you'll be proud - I've picked up lots of leaflets! ;D

We got the trains alright, the problem was not knowing where to go once we'd arrived at the station!
Ashton, your camera thinks it has low battery even when I put new ones in, help! :o
