Tokyo Dec 26, 2008: Day 1

Worried a lot that I might not be able to make it to ウィークリーマンション before 18:00.  As soon as the pathway had been connected, I dashed off the plane, passed the customs quickly, exchanged $ at the bank right next to the arrival lobby, bought the NEX+suica special package at 地下のみどりの窓口 (the JR booth you might see right off the arrival lobby doesn't offer this special package!).  Ha! didn't expect that my schedule was way ahead and took the train almost 40 min ahead than planned!

Memorized the map of sugamo area th

e day before my departure, therefore I made it all the way to ウィークリーマンション with no sweat!  

Hum...  it's a figure of speech, I did sweat a lot due to my high pace of walking.

Walked out to 地蔵王通り, took few pics, bought my dinner...  Thrilled to proceeded along the way without any trouble~  It's definitely a good sign for my trip!
