And we are off
My first full day in Japan is complete. As usually I make mistakes but those mistakes always work out for the good. The time change has my body acting backward. I was able to sleep for about 5 hours. I got up at 5 am and started figuring out the trains to Nagoya. I popped open my pocket WiFi box and after 10 minutes of trying to figure out the password, my connection was ready to go. Around 8:40 am, I jumped on the train to Shinagawa Station to pickup my JR rail pass. I was sweating because of the humidity and walking several flights of subway steps. Then I realize I forgot something. So I got off after the first stop and headed back to my hotel. But the delay worked out in my favor. I would have arrived too early at the rail pass office which didn’t open until 10 am. Rather than an hour waiting in the busy Shinagawa Station, I only waited 15 minutes. During that time I meet a wonderful older group of four tourists from Canada visiting Japan for the first time.
