Korea- Too boring

Cancel your hotel and stay somewhere in Tokyo.
This place comes highly recommended: http://www.sakura-hostel.co.jp/

Won't get my money back this late from the first hotel.

Second hotel is three stars at $50 a night, hard to beat man. It might be too late too cancel that one too.

EDIT: Yup, too late.

Oh.  And you might want to bring a jacket: http://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/1217.html

Rain jacket and sweatshirt is packed. Anything else I got is too heavy.

and I'm leaving from Narita airport.

Be sure to take photos of the Narita Express from the airport.  Such a pretty train.

Uneo park fucking rocks! Went to the museum of western art, the Japanese art academy and the Tokyo metropolitan museum of art. The last was incredible and I saw just one wing.

It takes me about an hour and fifteen to get there and maybe one twenty five going back, similarly for me to Seoul (without taking the bullet). Taxis are ridiculous here, 3-4 the price as Korea.

No responses? Anyways hit the Tokyo national museum today and it was incredible. So far the museums of Tokyo blow away Seoul and Taipei combined. Hell of a lot of walking though. Killed my camera battery. Was gonna hit akibhara and sjinjuku tomorrow since the museum's are closed Monday, but with the rain we're getting from this typhoon, I don't know.

Looting tombs?


I saw plenty of great Japanese stuff, the Brain asked for the best. There are probably only a handful of exhibits in the entire world that could top that one.

[jimmy olsen]

I saw the golden Crook & Flail of the King of Upper & Lower Egypt

The conopic coffin that held his embalmed liver and the golden sarcophagi of his grandmother and stillborn children.

I saw so many wonderful things.

Apparently going home for 2 months is enough to reset the 2 year American tax exemption here!

1,430,000 ₩ refund coming my way!
