Tokyo, Kanto, Japan Monday, January 2, 2017 *MAYA* The day started off with the boys sneaking away for their boarding trip outside of Tokyo at a cringe worthy time of 6:10am. All was good though because us girls were snug as a bug zzzzz'ing. After our little sleep in we slowing made our way to Takes***a street. We had it all down packed with no navigation problemos! Upon arrival, a breakfast of champions was in order - crepes. Crepes of the chocolate, custar...

Tokyo, Kanto, Japan Sunday, January 1, 2017 *ASH* Dyl, Maj and I woke up at 830am and headed to Shinagawa to do their MariCar Tour.

After a quick run through of the karts, we hit the streets of Tokyo - it was so much fun! The karts had a...

Fair to say it wasn't an ideal start to the day. Later in the morning we caught the train to Tsukishima station which was about 20 minutes away. He...

Tokyo, Kanto, Japan Wednesday, December 28, 2016 *DYLAN* The morning started with Blake sorting out a refund with the inexperienced receptionist. Success! We then met our tour guide for the day, Callum. He was a nice fella who wore matching sneakers and jeans, social suicide if you ask me (see photo below). We looked pass his fashion choices and took off on his thoroughly organized and planned walk for the day. He ran a very tight ship and any suggestion I ma...
