Well, I made it! Didn't get to the hotel until about 12:30 AM and in bed till a little after 1 AM. Slept about 5 hits and now I'm awake! I can feel a little part of my brain being tired but that's OK. In less than two hours I'll be meeting up with M-san for my first day out. Hope I am good company for him!
Also of note I managed to tell the taxi driver I was not last night to get him to roll down the windows. Victory!
The room is very compact. My head touches the shower ceiling. And the toilet seat is heated! Not sure why that hasn't made it other places.. Ready to get going :D
