1/2
Arrival day in summary:
Departure 10:35 Vienna
Landing 6:00 Tokyo
So about an hour early, as there was a tailwind (flight time just over 11 hours instead of over 12).
A quick dash through the entire Haneda Airport to pick up the Japanese SIM card.
Getting the most important thing for public transport in Japan:
my personalized Suica card!

Finally, the ultimate challenge: staying awake to overcome jet lag/time change as quickly as possible.

2/2
Total time completed in Austrian time:
Wake-up Tuesday 5:30
Departure 10:35 Vienna
Landing around 22:00 Tokyo
Various errands & wandering around Tokyo to avoid falling asleep too early.
Finaly bedtime Wednesday 14:00.

Findings:
1. There's a literal nine-story book tower!
2. You can simply leave your school bags while the class does stuff in the park, and no one will steal your bags.
3. "with Chocolate Bar" they really mean there's a whole bar of chocolate inside!

@kokurya - making me nostalgic for the Japanese Lawson's 😌 They had some tasty stuff. I was there last September.

@TheEnquirer
Did you also accidentally buy that at Lawson's?!
"Suntory natural water with yogurt flavor, luxury version“
It's a flavored mineral water with yogurt flavor.
In my defense, it was late at night, but now in the morning, the taste surprise came. 🤢

@kokurya - oof, that's rough 😔

It was hot when I went, so I mostly stuck with Pocari Sweat and water bottles from vending machines

I don't recall seeing Yogurt flavored Suntory, but I'll definitely put it on my list to avoid haha 😅
