Hello! welcome all who will read this blog, the blog is mainly for me to use as a form of e-journal for my Japan Trip, so without further ado, into the cyber bank!
just casually listening to Avicii vs Nicky Romero - I Could Be The One whilst i type this.
PREP
the main reason for my trip is to visit friends, see relatives, and i will also travel with an English friend to attend the Sapporo Snow Festival! I'll be stopping off in Tokyo first for a few days, to see some old high school friends, make new friends, and have an overall good experience traveling around and shopping. I will probably go visit the new Skytree in North Tokyo, which stand at a whopping 634 meters, the 2nd tallest building in the world as of 2013!
since NZ is in the middle of summer, and having never been in the snow before, I've had to go and do some shopping such as buying some boots, and warm clothing almost spent all of the hard-earned money from the past 2 months for this trip, bought lots of Mrs Higgins Cookies for the girls i will be staying with, It's serious business, cookies.. I'll be buying a down jacket from UNIQLO at the Ginza multiplex the very next day, since i will be landing very late at night.
With the rising Japanese yen, and the NZ dollar getting weaker from a strong position, i managed to buy some Yen at an exchange rate of 67:1 for yen:dollar. As a consequence, it has now risen again to 74 yen per dollar, i bought too early!
As i sit here at the airport, i get a surreal feeling, that all of the talk, all of the planning and money i've spent, all the hypothetical situations are finally coming together. All that's left is for me to go out there, hop aboard the flight, and relax until i arrive.
Over and Out, K
