Day ONE

The Journey began at 6:00AM on the coach to London Heathrow where there was a long 3 hour delay on the flight. When the emergency exit lights had been fixed we set off for our 12 hour long flight. Virgin made the flights more durable with movies, music and games to entertain everyone, as well as some surprisingly good food for a plane.

After eating, sleeping, reading, sleeping, movies and more sleeping we woke up to a rocky landing in TOKYO. The flight was worth the wait.

The Washington Hotel was in a place called Shinjuku. After arriving at the hotel around 2pm we decided to make the most of the day we had left. We set out to explore Shinjuku and find somewhere to eat. Dilemma one entailed understanding what food to go for with no English whatsoever, apart from pictures. Luckily I chose successfully with a pork sweet and sour.

After a long day of travelling our evening came to an end very quickly with sleep taking over.

The day before.

It's February already and the Nottingham Trent trip to Tokyo trip has arrived. Frantically trying to pack all the last bits for the trip I nearly forgot my informative book on Tokyo.

In my final year on Fashion Marketing and Branding I decided the trip to Tokyo would be the most different in terms of culture, traditions and not to mention the language. Over the course I have been lucky enough to have travelled to New York and Paris. However Tokyo was the one I was most keen on visiting.

The next time I was to wake up at 5:00AM for the longest plane journey I've done so far!!
