Japan, June 2005 / Day #2: Shinjuku, a view from Hotel Lornstar to south
When I finally arrived to Shinjuku-eki last night, I only had my hand-drawn map of the location of my hotel to take me there. I started walking to the direction where I believed my hotel was. Having plenty of smaller streets that were not on the map I used for reference didn't help. I spent a few hours walking around, buying a can or bottle of green tea every now and then to keep me sweating. I finally gave up and walked to the nearest police booth and asked for help. Because none of them could speak English and my Japanese wasnt't that good, one of them decided to walk me there. I was rather surprised for that but after a minute of walking I found out why: my hotel was practically around the corner.
