Tokyo, Kanto, Japan Tuesday, January 3, 2017 *DYLAN* Woke up in the morning expressing our grievances to each other over another night of poor sleep due to snoring. After we had left snorlax behind in the mixed dorm I was hopeful that would be the end of our snoring troubles. Turns out he has infected our tour guide Callum, and now he has been snoring as well during the night. Thankfully after discussing it the snorlax jnr he has informed us to wake him up wh...

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.

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...

We made our way to the Ueno District. A pretty and serene place and the cultural heart of Tokyo. We walked around Yanaka known for s...

Tokyo, Kanto, Japan Thursday, December 29, 2016 *BLAKE* The day started early with a rude awakening from Callum & Dylan at 4am. They were kept awake by a loud snorer and a chronic scratcher in their shared dorm which they couldn't deal with any longer, so they dragged their mattresses into our room to sleep. 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...
