We were so exhausted from our Kyoto adventure, we were already in Shinjuku by the time we opened our eyes. I can't believe we didn't even get a chance to eat our McDonald's dinner! Remember I've said time and time again how the Japanese are punctual
with everything? Well, we arrived at our stop at exactly 6:20 AM. I have no
words for their punctuality. I wish us Filipinos could be like them in
valuing time, even if just a little bit. I would be so happy when that
happens.

At 6:20 AM, our eyes had a difficult time adjusting to the sun's rays. And our legs were still feeling weak from all the sleeping but we still have to walk and look for our hotel. Funny how we had a hard time locating our hotel's street when we were just standing across the street sign. Haha
Anlalayo kasi ng tingin e!
I love how we got a cheap hotel in Shinjuku that's right across two station exits. See, booking hotels early really pays off! Since check-in isn't until 2:00 PM, we asked the receptionist if we could just leave our luggage while we look around the city. They obliged and tagged all our stuff with our hotel room number. And since we haven't had any dinner nor breakfast, we asked if we could eat our McDonald's meals in the hotel's lobby where breakfast is being served. They agreed and we even took advantage of their free wifi. Lucky!

We were running low on yen so we asked the receptionist where the nearest money changers are. They were kind enough to print out a map for us with all the money changers encircled. Ugh I love the quality of Japanese customer service! So good~!
