My first day in Japan

I spent my first day coming to the realization that I was in Tokyo, the most vibrant and overwhelming place I have ever been. I also realized that I was halfway around the world, alone, in a place where I can rarely understand people. I managed to make it work none the less. With my luggage dangling off me I called up my landlady, and met at her apartment. She treated me to a great dinner and then sent me off to my place, which was actually quite a distance away. She assured me that I would be able to find my way around...I ended up just falling asleep without packing.

Odd note: Everyone in Shinjuku has absurdly good fashion. Either everyone is in business attire, or wearing top of the line, hip outfits with crazy hairdos and accessories. I felt severally under dressed wearing just my usual jeans and tee-shirt.
