Night 1, sleeping in a westernized Japanese hotel


Toyko time: 4:24am still adjusting to the time difference.
I was able to get a room for a night, I was in room 761, I took off my shoes before I entered and there was only enough room for me to walk around in it was very small it makes my guest house look big in compression.
I had noticed that there was a monitor that I thought that the room came with a computer but it was only the TV. I had taken some pictures and then headed off to sleep
I heard a siren I thought that it was a warning for an earthquake, but it was just an ambulance, it really wasn't all that noisy. One thing I noticed is that you needed to place you room key (card) in to a slot in order to have power. so I placed it in there and bing power! I removed the card and in a few moments the lights went off...so I need to keep the card in there in order to had lasting power.
So when I went to leep I removed the card (it wasn't until the next morning that I figured out that I could control the lights from the bed). I wanted to wake up early so I could get ready to goto the Sakura House main building s i could get into my room.
I had woken up around 7am and watched tv a bit. I didn't see any anime that early, mostly children's programs.
I was had watched a bit of a show that has animal themed cars, planes and stuff like that and a 3d cel shaded Hamtaro. Also many Japaneses commercials that someone that has never visited japan before only see on youtube or google video
(they call frosted flakes frostys).
I had hoped to see an actual show of morning masume..but it didn't happen.
I had my shower and packed and then headed to the check out counter and left around 8:50 and headed out only to...
