Konnichiwa!!!

Konnichiwa!

I arrived in Tokyo at 6pm Thursday March 15th or for most of you 4am EST.We have a 14 hours differences (I am ahead). Needless to say that I was jumping of joy. After 14 hours in the air ..I would've been happy touching any soil. Between 100 ARIGATOs & SUMIMASENs (THANK YOU & SORRY).. I made my way to the Limo buses.
The ride between the airport and the city was another 2 hours...I was very tired...All I wanted was a cup of tea and a warm bed. However as soon as I hit the city a mysterious source of energy manifested itself and just like that I was ready for action:)

Summary of the night

Welcome Toast at Park Hyatt--nice view between the martini and a lantern -KAMPAI!!
Tested my composition and aperture while driving through Shinjuku (This is insanity!! ..Neon lights everywhere..on everything--There goes the electricity of half the planet..and this is just the tip of the iceberg.)

For some strange reason I developed a craving for crepes (Thanks to PY,MP's boyfriend)..Of all places.. PY ..made reservations at a french cafe.... Up to now i thought that Tokyo was; NEWYORK MEETS LAS VEGAS & ATLANTIC CITY in 3D...Now I have to toss PARIS in the mix. The Cafe was called LE BRETAGNE.. and all the staff( Japanese gents & ladies) were speaking Français de France. The Crepes were succulent Thanks P.Y...I now can make the difference between french crepes et les bretons(LOL!!) Imagine learning this in Japan( H. D..here you go, diversity at it's best)
...You've heard the expression When in Rome ...do like the Romans... Well in TOKYO everything goes it seems.
That's all for tonight..it is 5am for me I will try to catch a few ZZZZZ..before sunrise:)
