In Nagoya


Hi this is Luke Gration now in Nagoya Japan,

The flight over was good except that wearing winter gear during the Cairns stopover was a bit strange. Garth from the company picked me up at the airport in Nagoya. Getting through customs at the airport was much easier than i thought it would be but then i'm used to australian customs which is the strictest around. We drove from the airport it took about 45 min to the Mitsui Urban Hotel Nagoya which is within walking distance of the main shopping district Sakae, the room is small but nice which TV aircon and everything you might need. Later on Jeff(also with the company) brought Nissa(who is from Canada), also a trainee to the hotel, after Jeff and Garth left, Nissa and myself went out to check out Sakae, and also to get some food, i'm not quite sure what I ate but it was good.

Thats all from me for the moment, as soon as i get some new batteries i'll post an image from the hotel.
EDIT: Here's a photo from my room at the hotel, as you can see its overlooking a pretty busy intersection.
