Japan...We made it!!

After 46 hours on the ferry, it was time to leave...a very relaxing 2 days off and we'd certainly do it again. Last night they had a meal for Chinese new year, followed by BINGO and Karaoke! I spared them my Tom Jones rendition!

We arrived in ultra modern Japan but before leaving the boat some officials from Quarantine came on to take our temperatures..going through immigration they took our index finger prints and picture. Next through customs and a pack of Labrador sniffer dogs going through your stuff.

We got the free shuttle to the Train station but we didn't have enough Yen to pay for the train, I asked a Japanese guy we met on the boar where the ATM was, he walked 10 minutes out of his way to show me! These people are amazing..there's no trampling on your back going on the train...all very civilised.

No criticism of their metro, it's not very user friendly (see picture). You have to find your station look up how much the fare is and insert money before you can select a ticket! I much preferred Hong Kong, China and Thailand's touch screen map system...it's a pretty efficient system none the less...

I do wonder how tourist's find their way around our fine country?? With great difficulty I'd imagine!
