I don‘t need no stinkin` toothpaste

Jen and I made it to Japan. Despite all the warnings about hours-long lines, we breezed straight through check-in and security. Perhaps we made our own good fortune by checking our toothpaste. We flew in style on a 777, which had the more room in economy class than I thought was possible. David and Akiko met us at the gate and escorted us through a great first day in Japan. Highlights of the day include seeing the Rainbow Bridge, which is done in the style of the Brooklyn Bridge and our first course of Japanese sushi, which was excellent. We have a great picture of Jen eating shrimp. Mmm...Creamy!

We are staying at the Toyoko Inn in Chiba, which we quite like so far. We will be staying at several Toyoko Inns during our trip. Ok, we are off to the train station to meet David and Akiko in Ichigawa, which is where David lives. We are going to try and go to the Tokyo Fish Market and see kabuki in the Giza district.

Fun, fun.

TTYL.
