Japan Day 1:
So our trip to Japan began the Thursday before last with us leaving Jeonju around 4 pm for Busan. We all met up at the bus station, grabbed some nummy mandoo and hopped on the bus
After arriving in Busan we decided that we would wander around for a little while to see the town before heading over to the airport where, we had all agreed, we would spend the night. After stumbling upon dinner...
...and tennis shoes in a crane machine...
...we decided it was time for coffee. So we went to the cutest little cafe just down the road from where we had eaten called King Kong Coffee and satisfied our three "c"s, coffee, cake and chocolate!
After sitting about for a while, amusing ourselves with such games as "what sound can you make?" and "can you lick your elbow?" we decided to make our way to the airport. On our way we were quite silly and made friends on the train who gave us not one but TWO boxes of octopus balls! They were soooooo yummy!
We thanked the men that gave us the snack and hopped off the train, heading for the airport. Well...when we got there the entire airport was dark -_- we asked the security guard what time the airport was open and hopped back on the train headed to Sasang before the rail topped running. When we arrived back in Sasang it was around midnight so we found a 24 hour McDonalds and hunkered down for the night.
Day 2: By the time 6 am rolled around I was 4 cups of coffee deep and ready to sleep a little at the airport.
So off we trundled to the train, zoomed along to the airport, and crashed on the terminal couches once we were all checked in.
After sleeping for a little while and heading to information to deal with some baggage issues we hopped on the plane and off to Japan! It was a pretty lovely flight with a complimentary meal!
After arriving in Japan we were promptly ripped off by a woman in the train station. But being the forgiving souls that we are *ahem* we promptly figured out where to go an were on our way!
After getting to the hostel and checking in we jetted over to Roppongi, the area were the most foreigners are found. It was nighttime so we spent most of the time poking around in some shops along our path to Tokyo Tower!
When we finally made it to Tokyo Tower we went up to the first and only open observation desk...and we may have snuck a wee bit of Sake up with us.
With that we passed OUT! It had been a long day so we went straight back to the hostel where we crashed in our lovely yellow submarine-esque pods.
And so completes day 1 and 2 of our splendid excursion. Be back soon with more :D
I hope the world is good to you!
