Kimi......whoohoo!!!

I'm excited and no it's not cause it's christmas day, although I am a bit excited about presents and going round to Em and Andys for mmmmm roast duck. No the reason for my excitement is that I've booked up a hotel in Tokyo tonight! I'd been doing some heavy duty research into where to stay and what area to stay in, assisted by Alex San, Ant San and Sam Sama. I'd seen several places, but every time I emailed the hotel / hostel, they were fully booked mid - January which seemed a bit odd. Finally, phoned a place we'd seen on the net that looked traditional Japanese, in fact from the web pics on their site, it looked the nicest place out of any of them within our price range ( cheap ). From the 17th January for 3 nights we'll be at the Kimi Ryokan, ryokan being the name for a Japanese traditional Inn I believe. They speak English at the Kimi, which makes things a tad easier for Mr monkey and it's pretty near one of the big stations in Tokyo. If anyone's interested in Japan generally, then have a look at japan-guide.com it's got a shed load of information about things to do, see and eat. I've already found my ultra nerd museum to go to in Tokyo, here's how it reads on the site "The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation: This well done, highly interactive and bilingual science museum includes exhibits about environmental issues, robots (starring Asimo among others), information technology, biology and space exploration". That's right.....Robots, mmmmmm. Sorry Sammy, but monkey love the robots, ooh ooh. Talking of Sam, she's only gone and done her first post ain't she, wierdly it's below the Beckham post, can't quite figure out why, but please scroll down and have a read!!!!
