Greetings From Tokyo

Good news everyone!

I've decided not to clog up facebook and twitter with my adventure through Toyko with Leah! I figured this would be a good medium to write about my experiences in Japan without being too obnoxious.

Let's see, it's still early into the trip, but two things to talk about...

First, the plane ride. Yes, it was long, but there was lots to do. I didn't sleep one wink, but it wasn't for lack of trying. I just couldn't get comfortable. The first few hours, Leah and I entertained ourselves by reading and talking with each other. Then, the movies started...

Four movies (er three and half. The last one we only got half-way through)really helped pass the time on our near 13 hour journey to Japan. Here they are with impromptu reviews!

1.) Grownups - With Adam Sandler and all of his friends, basically. Ugh, this one was painful. It had some heart, but all in all it was brutal. The best part was switching languages between English, German, and Japanese. Adam Sandler in Japanese? Ok, that was kind of funny!

2.) The A-Team - This is about what I expected from an A-Team movie. Over the top action, Mr. T (or whoever) saying "fool" A LOT, and a fun action movie. All in all, not terrible. Definitely a good Cleaning-Up-The-House-Saturday-Flick.

3.) Prince of Persia - Speaking of Saturday action flicks... This is another one that was actually ok. With Video Game based movies, you really can't hope for more, considering that some of the best adaptations included Mortal Kombat and Tomb Raider... Yeah, some of the BEST... Anyway, cool stunts, a decent story, nice FX, not too bad (although I do admit that I watched half of this without my headphones off!

4.) Casino Royale - I think I covered this one. Watch the drama of James Bond playing cards, then playing cards, then playing more cards!! Ok, that joke was from rifftrax, but I like this movie. I was wondering how they were going to handle the torture scene with a plane full of people watching, but we never got that far into the movie. That's pretty smart on Delta's part....

From there, we landed, went through customs, took a train to Tokyo, found our hotel, and hit the sack. First pics coming soon.

Signing out, more to come...
