Woke up after arriving at Narita airport and met with a colleague from Seattle who flew in 10 minutes earlier. Apart from us, we brought along a staff writer, a photographer, and an editor. Spent roughly an hour at the airport exchanging money, working out how to make international calls, and of course figuring out how to get to our hotel with Japan's rail system.

Ride was roughly a little over an hour on the Keisei Line, and a brief transfer at Aoto arriving at Asakusabashi. Saw a rather odd poster of the Odaiba Gundam walking through Tokyo... Will upload that later. Finally got to the hotel, unloaded our baggages and went off to find a place to eat. Surprisingly, most of the food establishments all had the famed vending machine style ticket orders. Ended up deciding to eat at a beef rice bowl place. Spent 700 yen on a giant soup, and large bowl of beef bowl.

About to start Day 1, and it looks we're off to Akihabara! Will update more later today.
