Yay we are here in Japan! Our first day has been rather trying since as we predicted out of pure irony, Preston started teething the day before we left....and this means a red face, irritability, lots of weird poo, and not really an ideal travelling companion. He also had a food reaction before we left which has given him a big scaly red rash all over his face, so he is not looking his cute self and we got lots of strange looks from people.
The first hour on the plane was the most eventful - Preston had managed to get poo all through his clothes, and once we changed him into the only spare set i brought onboard, he managed to spew all over them AND all over Dan (who didn't bring a spare set of clothes), AND then had another poo eruption as well through the clothes. So after a couple of complete washings down with baby wipes and storing clothes in sickbags, poor Preston had limited clothing and didn't smell very nice. Despite his runny tummy and sore teeth throughout the rest of the flight, he did get a little bit of sleep and started to feel a bit better.
When we got to Japan, we had a 50 min bus ride to our hotel, and we were just hoping we didn't need to do any nappy changes.....luckily he managed to hold himself in until about 5 mins before we got to our hotel and then really let go....completely stinking out the bus. When we got to our room, we were running the bath before the luggage person could even get our bags in the door! Preston got all clean and then I had a giant pile of disgusting washing to deal with. Anyway, I hope that episode is all over now.
Japan so far seems really cool! The city we are in (Makuhari New City) is amazing - all brand new and fancy and so clean. We only had a brief look around when we went for dinner last night but today we will go exploring. Luckily most people kind of speak english so we can get by.
Weirdest thing I've seen so far: melons in a food shop at the airport were selling for 5000yen - thats about $65!!! i should move here and grow fruits and veges!
