Tokyo Day 1 - 01 April 2016

5:30am dad and mum came fetch us.

6am reach airport. Very cold. Flight from penang to HK delayed by 2 hrs. Departing time is now 10am. We got rm25 voucher for McD each. Met song chiew as we were in the same flight. He was going to US for biz trip

10-2pm watched Revenant on the plane together. It was really a very nice exciting and intense movie. The flight was awesome.

2-4pm walked around HK airport. Damn. The food there is damn expensive. A bowl of Wan ton mee was Rm 30 and a bowl of fish ball congee is also Rm30.
Visited Disney shop in the airport.


4-9:15pm flight from HK to Haneda airport.

9.15pm reached airport.
Long queue in immigration. Gotn9ut of check in around 10pm
Went collect rented portable WiFi by pupuruwifi.com at ABC counter
Went asked around for directions around bought PASMO card for train and bus (3000¥ each)
Hopped on around train. Which turned out to went to the wrong direction .
Asked two japanese working guys , they were very good. Led us to the correct station and told us what to do.
Hopped onto it. Bang a few walls again, kept asking people.
Found out that the train in Japan is extremely confusing compared to all the previous subways (Singapore and taiwan) that we've taken.

We asked for help from some young guy inside the train who happens to be a Chinese. He gave us this 2 picture and asked us to snapshot it. It does not help at all. Lol


One thing that we noticed. All adult Japanese , when you walked close to them , you can smell a very strong smell of alcohol. I guess it's because today is Friday night. Lol. A lot of those can't even walk in a straight line when they enter the train. Some even need help from their friends to enter the train. 


As the trains that we took are somewhat the last train , we had the privilege to experience packing together with all the working folks that are rushing back. I could not explain in pure words how packed it was. But you could hardly breathe, and you can not even change the position of your hand. The only thing that u could move is only your fingers. Imagine that!!


12am finally reached the place we stay. Setup WiFi,  send text messages to everyone that we r safe. And oyasumi nasai.  :)
