Tokyo!!!

So finally get to go to Japan and stay, not a layover at the airport. Japan has been on the top of my list of places to go. I was super happy to go at first but realized as it got closer I was going for work so that kinda sucks. Japan was awesome anyways, can't wait to go back and take time to enjoy the culture.
Got some yen for the trip, it's about 90 yen to the dollar. So 10,000 yen is like around $110USD. Got about 500 changed just in case. In the end didn't need that much cuz I didn't buy anything. Just food and getting around.
This is the train station at Narita, you can get to Tokyo on the JR train for $35. It's an express train and it takes 1 hr. The slower trains are much cheaper but take 80-90 minutes atleast.

If you have never been on a good train system, you are missing out. They're efficient and easy to navigate. You also get to nap and not worry about traffic. They also have a girl pushing a snack cart in the aisle if you get hungry.

Noticed they have an LED lit map that progress as the train travels. It's cool
