Early Morning/Late Night


I left my hotel before 6am this morning. It was a bit disconcerting to see people on the streets who were just winding down their 'fun and games' from the previous night (though not really surprising given the hotel's location – in a Kabukicho, the red light district!).

I'd given myself plenty of time to lug my stuff to the Narita Express train at Shinjuku station. Too much time really as I could've got the train before the one I actually had a reservation for. I almost came a cropper on the escalator up to the platform as I momentarily lost my balance and the weight of my bag threatened to send me tumbling. Thankfully no one saw me (apart from anyone watching on CCTV).

Whilst I waited I bought a can of coffee from a vending machine. It was warm and tasted like chocolate milk.
