I don't think there could be a better way to recover from jetlag (and 28 hours without sleep!)\n\nBut before I get some shut-eye, a little about the journey!\n\n- What they say about the trains is completely true, you can actually set your watch by them - I did!\n- Japan airlines does surprisingly excellent food (dispute not letting us upgrade to first class for free :P)\n- Planes fitted with on-board bird's-eye and forward facing cameras for in-seat viewing are awesome\n- The tube stations are all covered in colour from adverts and directions (very helpful, even for がいじん - foreigners)\n- Everything sounds more awesome in Japanese\n- The phrase 'Is this right?' is going to be very, very handy\n- Japan is really exciting! たんじょぼです！\n\nHope you're all very jealous :P",
