I left Montreal on July 14th, 8:30. They call this day "Bastille day" whereas as a French girl, it's "THE" July 14th for me : our national day. I spent it in planes and airports, for what we can currently call the trip of my life...
I arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday, July 15th ; my host -found on Couchsurfing- had given me detailed explanations abou how to reach his place ; around 1 hour to reach the city (the airport is pretty far from it !) and an additionnal hour to get closer to Shinjuku station.
I was so thirsty and sweaty that it actually wasn't a problem that Jim had to go to a dinner somewhere : after 2 glasses of water and a good shower, I was already sleeping at 9 pm ! Don't forget that there are 13 additionnal hours compared to Canada... I had been awake for 30 hours ! And I was in Tokyo...
