Just a quick update, late last night I received a reply to my email to the hotel about arriving late. Turns out they have a policy and procedure for this. I now have my room number and will be able to pick up my key upon arrival. This is quite a relief for me, it means I don't have to try and rush from the airport nor do I need to worry about buying another room for the night or not finding a room at all. I had imagined a nightmare of wandering around Tokyo all night with no place to stay.
Here's a ridiculous "selfie" of me in the airport taken while posting this.
Hey Jim - Did a little research on the Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat) today as I know you were possibly purchasing a few of them for friends (your neice included hopefully). I found out that the left paw is to attract customers while the right paw up invites good fortune and money. Keep that in mind when looking as we wouldn't want customers in awkward places! :)
ReplyDeleteSaw that when I looked it up, did see some today with right paw, left paw or both paws. However didn't like any of them enough to pay the outrageous price they wanted. Hoping to have better luck else where.
