A bit late, but better late than never... A quick journal of my trip so far: (Times are as per locality) 5 March: 13:10 Depart from JHB About a 12 hour flight on which I did not sleep and watched many movies... 07:00 Arrive in Hong Kong On my first day there, I found my hostel first, dumped all my luggage and started walking. walk walk walk... I tried to stay awake until 11pm and got to bed pretty exhausted. I stayed in Hong Kong for three days, seeing many cool sights and also taking the time to buy a good digital camera (About R5k) Also saw and met some cool Tai-Chi people, and suffered no jet-lag. 8 March: 11:20 Fly to Tokyo. Arrived at Narita airport, picked up my JR Pass, caught a train, then a bullet train, then another train, and finally a local rapid train. I spend the first two days just eating sushi and planning my next few days... 20:00 Finally arrived at my destination... Hozumi. I was picked up at the train station by a friend of Charisse and Jason's called Sumire. 10
