So it's finally happened! We just arrived in Hakuba about 2 hours ago after traveling all night and all day! We flew from Melbourne to Hong Kong, then Hong Kong to Tokyo. Then caught a train from the airport to Tokyo Station. Then a train from there to Nagano, then a bus from Nagano to Hakuba! Besides some gnarly check-in excess baggage problems, (which were sorted out because of some amazingly cool people at Cathay Pacific) it was a rad trip here and it was super fun to catch the Bullet Train from Tokyo to Nagano! Pretty cold here in Nagano, no fresh, but apparently there is High Cascade park at Happo-one, so we will probably play there tomorrow. Here are some pics from getting here today.
Tokyo Station waiting for the Asama Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to Nagano
We had a little bit of proddy to lug around, which was especially funny to watch each other take up half-a-dozen flights of stairs. Shan had some issues with an escalator, and I kept running into crew with my bag and saying 'sorry' a Japanese accent because I didn't know how to say it in the language.
The Shinkansen are freaking crazy fast!
The boys getting creepy on the plane...
Hong Kong International is huge!
Shinkansen to Nagano
The trains are cool
Getting rare...
