After arrival at the Narita Airport I was glad that all what my japanese friends said about free wify was true. So I could tell my friend, I was going to meet, that I survived that 15 hours flight.
Even everybody may think its complicated to find the way in japan coz all that mysterious Kajis, I was able to find the way to the transfer Train easiely....thanks to all that nice pictures that make it possible even for a 5 years old child not to loose the way.
I choose to take the NEX Train.....coz the train looked really stylish on the pictures of the airport website :-)
A very nice lady with great english skills explained me everything - where i have to go; when the train departures and so. While waiting time for the train I noticed a - YAH I know its maybe stupid, but for germans its amazing - Wending Machine. The only drink I knew was cola. So I took something and guess what!....AMAZINGLY tasty! Milktea! - There is no better drink in japanese wending machines than this - so far my opinion ^^
The train was absolutely clean and the service lady with her super cute "sumimasen..." made my day.
But I didn't buy anything :)
I thought on the way to Tokyo - soon there will be this mega metropole and I will get lost. But for my own surprise the train track and the scenery around it doesn't gave me the feeling I am on the way inside a giant city. Everything I could see through the train windows seemed so peaceful and silent. For sure I noticed when I came closer to the central, but anyway it was different to what I expected. I get off the train and was so concentrated to all the notes I made before I left the house in Hamburg that I didn't felt like I am in Tokyo now. I was really afraid to loose my way. But I found directly the hostel in Asakusa. Its name was K's House. First real focused contact with japan - apart of that wending machine - was that 'Tatami' door. I was received by a young girl that also could speak fluently english. Particularly I remember to her cute 'eto' after every phrase she said. Comparable to 'well...'. I brought my luggage to the room with the 2p bunk bed. First I waned to do was charging my phone but my charger - even I had an adapter - didn't work. So I asked in the reception for the way to the next electronic store. Found it easy....but to find the right lvl was hard work. I asked many nice persons that make clear to me in an absolutely friendly way.....that they have no idea ^^
The one that could speak not one word english could finally help me. I showed her by a hand move like connecting my phone to my charger what I was looking for. She took out a map of the shopping Mal and pointed on the lvl.
I choose a cute one with a face on it. Super stylish, not cheap (made in japan), for ....taddaaa...just 1400 円.
Back to hostel and waiting for my friend. Coz I became bored in my room after 10 minutes I went to the entrance hall. A small room with one table. Some there guest where sitting there together with the hostel stuff an drank plum wine - so I joined.
