Ever since our first trip to Japan we wanted to go back and today we finally landed at Narita airport. It was a long flight and we couldn’t get much sleep but we got to enjoy a lot of movies. For instance, how about the epic title “Space pirate captain Harlock” or “Terumae Romae 2”, in which a roman bath builder is transported to present day Japan where he find inspiration for new bathing facilities.

We also got to experience our first earthquake! Just as we sat down to eat lunch at Odawara, the ground started shaking. At first I thought that I was just too tired, the next thought was “why is someone rocking my chair?” and then “why is the lamp in the ceiling moving?”. Aparently, this was a quite big one (5.6) but we were (luckily) at the outskirts of it.
