7 am, bright and early. I swing open the blinds and get another welcome surprise by a warm glow from a corner window in the hall. I crawl out on all fours, stand up and stretch out my limbs like a starfish. I’m out of the hive and ready to take on the day; but not after hitting the hot tubs with my capsule bunk buddies – naked.
I was changing hotels once again this morning, but this time to Shinjuku, where I am going stay for the remainder of my trip. I managed to book the last three nights online and was provided with some of the worst Japanese to English translated directions ever! Let’s just say after hauling my luggage in the wrong direction, over unpaved roads, pot-holes, up and down stair in the subways stations, I was absolutely finished with moving my stuff till it was time to go to the airport!
