Nihon 1

February the 28th, 2009:

5am Japan time, I am still in the plane. From the window I can see the first rays of the rising sun.
We took the bus from the airport to Shibuya (Tokyo district) and I was so sleepy! Cyril arrived at the meeting point exactly on time. First thing we did: eat sushi at 10am. Those were uber good . We went to that place because there was a queue in front of the restaurant (a Japanese habit). Then we went for a digestive walk in the neighborhood, had a coffee and went back to Cyril's place to rest. As I haven't had any sleep for almost two days I crashed for 3 hours. In the evening we got prepared and went to the "combini" (convienient store) to buy some food and drinks for the party Cyril was throwing. We spent a real nice evening. Cyril's friends were really fun to hang around with. Half of them were French, the other half Japanese (Cyril works for a french bank in Tokyo). At some point during the night we tried to go to a club but it was so packed the we couldn't enter. We tried to go to a karaoke but the group splitted because it was too late (about 4 am) . So we went to an Izakaya (Japanase restaurant, kind of like Tapas style). Cyril's Taiwanese friends were really excited and they kept ordering food, which ennoyed him because he was not hungry and quite tired. Finally we went back to his place and went to bed (futon in my case) at about 5 am. Gosh... That was a tiring arrival!








Samedi 28 février 2009:
Il est 5h du mât heure du japon, je suis encore dans l'avion et de mon hublot je peux voir les premières lueurs du soleil levant.
On a pris le bus de l'aéroport vers Shivuya et j'ai très sommeil! Cyril est arrive pile poil à l'heure. On est allé manger des sushis a 10h du matin qui étaient super bons. On est allé là parce qu'il y avait la queue:) ensuite on a marché un peu dans le quartier, on a pris un café et on est rentre chez Cyril. Comme je n'avait quasiment pas dormi jeudi et dans l'avion vendredi on a dormi 3heures chez Cyril. En début de soirée on s'est préparés et on est allé acheter de quoi manger pour la soirée. On a passé une soirée super sympa avec ses amis qui sont 50%fr le reste japonnais. A un moment on a essayé d'aller en club mais c'était blindé. Ensuite on a bougé vers un karaoké mais le groupe splitte et on vas manger. Les japs commandent trop de bouffe ce qui énerve Cyril qui voulait dormir. Finalement on rentre et on se couche a 5h du matin.
Pffffiiioooouu....
