Arrival in Tokyo
Arrived at 20h in Tokyo, Narita Intl. Airport after a bad start at the airport in Hamburg, a bad stay at the airport in Paris and a terrible flight to Tokyo! I usually never get sick on a plane, but this time, I thought I really was about to throw up. It was hot and the air was so bad, and the food…
I couldn’t even enjoy the movies on the plane, because we only could choose between 5 movies or so and after watching the first one, I was so disappointed that I decided not to watch the others.
But! My arrival was much better. My boyfriend came to pick me up and we took a train to Tokyo to bring away my luggage and then we went to a Hub in Shinjuku. A couple of friends were already there, drinking and we had a really good time! This is the best way to fight a jetlag, by the way. Just stay up the whole first night and you won’t have problems with the day-night-rythm 
Saturday we first went to Shibuya to get me a new SIM card for my mobile phone. I still had an old phone from my previous stay as an exchange student, so all we had to do is to go to Softbank (Vodafone in Japan) and get a SIM card on my boyfriend’s name and I was set up! Otherwise it would be too hard to get in contact with all of my friends here, most of them don’t really use the internet, but everyone has a mobile phone. The girl at the counter at Softbank was really cute and very nice to us, she even gave us a little stuffed animal, a white dog, as a mobile phone strap. Happy!
Had chinese food somewhere, delicious dumplings, HMMMM, and then went to a winebar in Shibuya again. This place is gorgeous! It’s tiny, but cozy and the prices are really good. I love it!
And I think it would be a really good dating-spot, if you don’t mind standing. The food is good too! Total recommendation!!
Today we went to Harajuku, because it’s St. Patrick’s Day and there was a parade on the Omotesando. Before meeting with our friends, we went to a really cute little neighborhood, which is really next to the Omotesando street but it was such a quiet neighborhood, very different from the rest of Harajuku, with its shopaholics and fashion victims. Went to Starbucks there, tried the Orange Latte (recommendation from a friend) and enjoyed the good weather. The parade was a little short, but interesting.
