He says: What a difference a day makes. Tokyo and Shanghai are like night and day. Gone was the order and courtesy we had grown accustomed to during our time in Japan. From the moment we stepped off the plane into China, it was chaos. We took the world's fastest train, the Maglev (top speed of 421km/h) to a subway station - we reached 301km/h. It was like a really smooth roller coaster ride and was super fun. The subway ride to near our hotel was full of teenager...

She says: I am completely bummed to be leaving Tokyo. I absolutely loved my time here and would come back in a heartbeat. Matt finally over his jetlag by consuming seven burgers, two crepes, endless packets of Chip Star and becoming a Karaoke (pronounced kah-rah-oh-kay here) superstar. I'm pretty sure he'd come back with me. Over the past few days, we have become: quite comfortable navigating our way around the huge city's multiple subway lines; accustomed to ca...

He says: It's been well documented on this blog that my eating habits resemble a 10-year-old child. Serve me chicken fingers, fries and a milkshake and I couldn't be happier.

But it turns out that's exactly what I had to do to enjoy the greatness that is Freshness Burger ...

I was, yet again, reminded that I am too big for Japan, as I was given the largest sweatpants to change in...

He says: We're on our way to Hakone this morning by train. It's a mountain town an hour and a half away from Tokyo. We're planning on checking out the open air museum, a waterpark that you can swim in green tea, and a cable car ride. Yesterday was an awesome day. Despite still feeling the effects of a 14 hour flight and a 13 hour time difference, we set off on an adventure. Our tour guide was a friend of Shauna's from back in the day who currently lives in Tokyo...
