So basically almost 48 hours without sleeping. But tonight the great surprise came from the internet access which is very cheap about $10 for 24 hours. So todays are the first pictures and we&#8217;ve seen quite a lot and quickly which really exhausted everyone, as we first went to Ryogoku which took us about one hour by bus as Narita is 70kms away, where is the Sumo museum which we could&#8217;nt visit because there is actually a Sumo tournament that takes place here. Then we headed to Asakusa, there we first visited the street by ourself before eating in a Sushi restaurant, it was tasting good but there where too much for me. After that we went to the temple of Senso-ji where I had a try at the luck prediction and hopefully got a good prediction which I kept with me, as a bad one would have had to be attached to avoid the fate predicted. I might show it to those who asked me. We then headed straight for Akihabara true electronics and electrics paradise, where we had 45 minutes to wander around and there is a lot to see, what strikes the european guy I am, and of course user of some technological devices is the price, which is really much cheaper did you ever thought you might found a 100DVD-R spindle for less than $10. Then we headed for the other side of Tokyo coming near the Imperial palace which you can&#8217;t enter freely and then getting a quick glimpse of the Tokyo Tower which is very much the Japan Eiffel Tower. Finally we went to see The Meiji-Kingu sanctuary which is pretty much in the middle of a very nice park, where we saw how to purify ourselves before entering the place, how the Japanese can makke wish and prey, calling the god by clapping in their hands twice. And we in the end got a quick stop at the Town Hall of Tokyo in Shinjuku to get a panoramic view of Tokyo, before we could finally get to the hotel take a shower have diner and rest until the next day. The few things that really stiked me on the first day are also the smell of the air which is really different when you discover it as the sea is not so far it is more humid, but really different from what we&#8217;re used too. Also you see many more shops at the same place than I ever saw with many making announcements and things like that, and also the circulation though Tokyo is very croweded with 12 millions of people we did not really get stuck, and both drivers and peoples are much more respective of the signalisation, of course you can also tell that everything is much more clean than the streets of big cities I know, there is actually even selective bins out on the streets, and also you see a lot of people wearing masks which as nothing to do with the current Influenza but Japanese think about protecting the people around them when they are ill, which I think is something that we should all do. I&#8217;m curious to know the impact it might have around the world on the seasonal diseases. Well that will be it for this first day.<\/p>\n<p>Premier jour \u00e0 Tokyo qui fut assez \u00e9prouvant car apr\u00e8s \u00eatre parti pour l&#8217;a\u00e9roport de Paris avec un rendez-vous \u00e0 05H35 le voyage qui nous amena a Tokyo dura jusque le lendemain \u00e0 9:00 heure locale. Donc en gros presque 48 heures sans dormir. Mais ce soir lla grande surprise vint de la connexion internet qui est tr\u00e8s accessible \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s 8 euros pour 24 heures en r\u00e9seau local et non wifi. Donc aujourd&#8217;hui voici les premi\u00e8res images, et nous avons vu bien des choses et rapidement que qui nous a compl\u00e9tement \u00e9puis\u00e9, nous avons commenc\u00e9 par Ryogoku que nous avons mis pr\u00e8s d&#8217;une heure \u00e0rejoindre depuis l&#8217;\u00e9a\u00e9roport qui se situe \u00e0 enfvviron 70kms, o\u00f9 se trouve le mus\u00e9e des Sumos que nous n&#8217;avons pas pu visiter par faute d&#8217;un tournoi de Sumo ayant court actuellement. Apr\u00e8s cela direction Asakusa o\u00f9 nous avons eu un petit temps libre histoire de prendre quelque photos avant de se retrouver pour manger un bon plat de Sushi qui \u00e9tait fort sympathique, bien qu&#8217;il y en ait eu vrous avons continu\u00e9 par le temple de Senso-ji l&#8217;occasion de s&#8217;essayer au pr\u00e9diction pour 100 yens ont r\u00e9cup\u00e8re un petit baton nous indiquant le tiroir dans lequel trouver notre prediction par chance aussi \u00e9crite en anglais, qui s&#8217;est av\u00e9r\u00e9 tr\u00e8s bonne pour moi, fort heureusement car j&#8217;ai pu ainsi la conserv\u00e9e sans quoi j&#8217;aurai du l&#8217;attacher pour \u00e9viter ce mauvais sort. ensuite direction Akihabara quartier paradis de l&#8217;\u00e9lectrique et de l&#8217;\u00e9lectronique, o\u00f9 nous avons pu d\u00e9couvrir pendant 45 minutes les nombreuse \u00e9choppes et leurs prix plus attractifs que nulle part ailleurs, imaginer le spindle de 100 DVD-R \u00e0 moins de 10 euros, l&#8217;on se mait aussi attir\u00e9 par de nombreux commer\u00e7ant ou des jeunes filles en tenue de maid ou autre pour des caf\u00e9s un peu particulier. Pour la suite il nous a fallu passer de l&#8217;autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de Tokyo toujours par Bus ce qui nous a permis de passer non loin du Palais Imp\u00e9rial bien entendu interdit d&#8217;acc\u00e8s au commun des mortels, ainsi qu&#8217;avoir un aper\u00e7u rapidement de la tour de Tokyo, qui n&#8217;est ni plus ni moins que la Tour Eiffel des japonais. Ensuite nous sommes arriv\u00e9s au temple de Meiji-jingu qui est en pleine milieu du parc Yoyogi et des ses milles arbes, au milieu de la nature nous avons pu voir comment nous purifier \u00e0 l&#8217;aide de l&#8217;eau pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e \u00e0 tous, ou encore comment les japonais font des souhaits ou prient dans ce temple, en frappant notemment deux fois dans les mains pour appeller le dieu du temple. Enfin un dernier bref arr\u00eat \u00e0 Shinjuku nous permis de monter au sommet de celle-ci pour avoir une vue panoramique de Tokyo. Enfin direction l&#8217;hotel pour pouvoir enfin prendre une douche, manger, et prendre une nuit de repos bien m\u00e9rit\u00e9e. Quelques petites choses m&#8217;ont vraiment frapp\u00e9 et d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but de cette journ\u00e9e, tout d&#8217;abord l&#8217;air en arrivant que l&#8217;on ressent tout de suite comme tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent puisque la mer n&#8217;est pas si loin celui-ci est un peu plus humide mais \u00e0 \u00e9videmment une odeur assez diff\u00e9rente de ce que l&#8217;on connait. On trouve aussi un nombre vraiment tr\u00e8s important de boutiques en tout cas bien plus que je n&#8217;en ai jamais vue rassembl\u00e9e avec de nombreuses boutiques attirant le passant par des offres ou des annonces, de plus la circulation en bus n&#8217;est pas d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able, et l&#8217;on voit tout de suite un bien plus fort respect des r\u00e8gles qu&#8217;il s&#8217;agissent des v\u00e9hicules au feu, ou des pi\u00e9tons respectant les feux rouges, sauf en de tr\u00e8s rares occcasions, on est bien loin de Paris, le tout malgrr\u00e9 une population tr\u00e8s importante de 12 millions d&#8217;individus. De plus tout est vraiment plus propre pas parfait bien s\u00fbr mais rien comme les grandes villes que j&#8217;ai pu d\u00e9j\u00e0 voir, sans oublier que les poubelles publiques permettent elles-aussi le tric selectif, ainsi aussi un distributeur de boisson, poss\u00e8de une poubelle d\u00e9di\u00e9e au canettes. Enfin les japonais pensent aussi bien plus aux autres puisque au moindre petit signe de maladie ils sortent le masque, une id\u00e9e dont je serai curieux de conna\u00eetre l&#8217;impact sur les diff\u00e9rentes maladies saisonni\u00e8res si elle \u00e9tait reprise ailleurs. Et voila donc un bref r\u00e9sum\u00e9 de ce premier jour.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.fr\/avandoorine\/JapanDay1\" targevt=\"_blank\">http:\/\/picasaweb.google.fr\/avandoorine\/JapanDay1<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https:\/\/japan.atlanteans.net\/?p=71\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\">Share on Facebook<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First day in Tokyo, which was quite exhausting as after leaving for the airport in Paris we&#8217;re the rendez-vous was set at 5:35 am all the trip took us to Tokyo Narita at 9am local the next morning.
