Pleasant first day of a new year…

In China anyway.

Tried out a trip to Yokohama. Its part of the greater Tokyo metropolitan area. I’d have to say it’s the lesser part. Tokyo rules forever!!

It was okay, but it didn’t have that big city buzzy feel. The Chinatown is the best I’ve seen, though. Solid restaurants and shops, and the mood felt a lot like Hong Kong.

There’s a lovely seafront park, and good connections to other big cities in the area.

On the way home, I found some type of craft fair in a temple. So neat.

After that I bought a shirt so I’d have something clean to wear home tomorrow, and dinner again with a friend.

I’ve been coming home early every day to watch the televised sumo matches with this Korean guy at my hostel. He’s taught me a lot about sumo.

I’ve really enjoyed staying at this hostel. The coffee in the morning is real coffee, and the beds are more comfortable than Asian beds usually are. I’d stay here again.

I’ll take a walking tour in the morning to fill up a travel day.

See you on the flip side
