Tokyo-Narita Airport is deceptive. First of all, the airport is over 60 km from the city, and it's in the middle of a bunch of farms. I knew that coming in, but it didn't stop me from being surprised, nevertheless. Taking the Limousine-Bus (ha!) to Shinjuku, one passes by Tokyo Disneyland. To a somewhat jetlagged gaijin, that seemed like a logical place to mark the start of the city.
To note: what's with all the tiled external wall coverings? It's a very Japanese thing - it's everywhere - even on the gigantic drab apartment buildings that seem to populate everywhere but the supertrendy districts.
Looking forward to an answer about the tiles, if you find one.
