flight was ok, stop over in Cairns was ok, but hot, met a banker from Sydney on the flight, she was going skiiing in Niseko, Hokkaido, and then after tokyo arrival, i met a Japanese woman who offered to help me find right train, she had a dog called Jack, and she liked Ken Done.. then after lugging my excess baggage to hotel i was exhuasted and slept from 9pm to 8am..  now i’ve had a cheap breakfast, checked my emails and ready to go out into the cold.brrr…
