My first hostel stay

I'm gunna make this brief. Partly cause this keyboard is driving me nuts and partly cause everyone here at the Narita hostel has already hit the sack.

I arrived at Shinjuku this morning after my second night bus adventure! All jokes aside, I actually got some sleep this time. Probably because I starved myself of sleep the day before for this purpose.

From Shinjuku, I made my way via the JR train system to Narita Airport where I was kindly picked up by Yama-san, the hostel owner. Mr Yama is a popular man in the hostel world. Known for his friendly nature, he offers free airport/sightseeing highlight drop offs and pick ups. What a champ.

Staying at the hostel with me tonight are a German fella, an Irish chick (who I got along well with) and a Vietnamese/American bloke. We all had a good chat together about places we've been, places we're going and favourite destinations.

As everyone here is catching a plane for their onward journey tomorrow morning, everyone has knocked-off early. After a quick shower, I think I might join them.

The hostel is a cosy little place in Narita, which is the rural area surrounding the Narita Airport. I actually had quite a nice day of sightseeing before unpacking in my tatami mat room this afternoon. I've also got yonks of pictures which I intend to share with you all sometime during the next couple of days. Hopefully the Wangfujing hostel in Beijing offers cheap/free internet.

Until then, I'm off to get some sleep before heading off, in the morning, to the land of Bruce Lee, Dim Sims and one big-ass wall.
