T does Tokyo, again

am "feverently"(yeh right!) trying to clean the "house"(yeh, mouse-house) before friends arrive from home tomorrow. I went to primary school, high school and university with C. Her and the hubster, L, are stopping over in Tokyo for a week before heading off to the UK and Europe for I think 6 weeks or so of travel! Cool hey. And I am really glad that people are now stopping over in Tokyo to visit. We have had so many visitors the last 2 or so years, that I have pretty much got a "T shows you the highlights of Tokyo" package tour all worked out - taking in a Sumidagawa river cruise departing from Hama Rikyu gardens, where we try green tea, to Asakusa; Meiji Shrine and Harajuku; Tokyo Metropolitan Buildings or Tokyo Tower, etc etc. Even have a few good restaurants up my sleeve to show off the real Japanese cuisine (you know, Okonomiyaki, Sushi-train, Yaki-tori and of course an Izakaya and some ramen joints thrown in there too for good luck)

We will head out tomorrow night to pick them up from Narita (takes about 1.5hours?) around 8pm them arrive I think. So will be bathing and feeding K and walking R before we leave. In the meantime, I really need to stop procrastinating (double yeh-right) and get this place organised.......or at least throw everything hastily into the cupboards out of sight!

Yes, will get onto that - after I polish off this last oreo, lol.

  1. I hope you enjoy your time with your friends from back home! I'm sure with everything that you have planned, they will have a ball too!

    My best friend stopped over for 1 week on her way to Europe in 2006, and we had a ball together!
