We landed in Tokyo to fanfare.

We finally made it to Tokyo! It turned out that this was the 1st time that Emirates has flown into Tokyo Narita airport. They had a big ceremony and the media was there interviewing people. I got interviewed! How's that for a Japanese welcome!?

The driver arranged by our Tour company (InsideJapn.com) was great too. He spoke good English and he was patient with us. The Hotel (Asakusa Sunroute Hotel) is nice. Small... but nice. We had our first dinner out at a restaurant across the street from the hotel... we had a dish called "supa" It was like wheat noodles in miso soup with Chicken pieces. Delicious! It put Hassan Ibn right to sleep and Soloman went to sleep within 3 minutes! A world record!!!

Tokyo is cold! 4 degrees Celsius! Our 1st impression though... NYC with Japanese signs and people driving on the other side of the road. Asakusa, there area in tokyo where our hotel is, is very quite. The people seem friendly though.

Peace,
Hassan in Tokyo... chasing the spirit of the Samurai
