Hello Tokyo

This is the start of something good. Our blog from Tokyo. Konichiwa. Let us recap on our adventure so far. 1. First class flight - The best way to make a 14 hour flight seem like a two hour joy ride .... fly first class. Six course meals, chairs that recline into beds, enough space that you feel as if there is no one else on the plane, slippers, constant service, movies galore, and best of all CHAMPAGNE!!! 2. 32nd Floor Views - This is where we call home now. In the town of Tsukishima in the outskirts of downtown Tokyo we have incredible views. We share a two bedroom apartment with our now good friend Taejo where we both sleep on futons that we roll out everynight and roll back up every morning. 3. Sea Urchin - If you have a sensitive gag reflex you may want to stay away from this fish. If you need any further explanation just ask Rebecca who did an amazing job of swallowing the urchin although her eyes were watering and reflex had already kicked in. 4. Japanese Soccer - The best we have ever seen. The amount of skill and gracefullness these players demonstrate is hard to explain in words. They play fast yet never rush. They are individually creative yet play with a rhythm. They make complicated runs yet are always able to combine with eachother. Amazing. 5. Nihongo wa hanasemasen - I can't speak Japanese but everyday we are learning more and after our first interview with Japanese television we have impressed with our limited abilities. They were stunned by the fact we have only been in the country for 3 days yet can speak bits and pieces of the language. 6. We love Tokyo - More to come.
