My japan trip or the blog that never was

Well so much for my grand plans to blog about my trip to Japan. First I get nailed by power plug issues and a seriously flat battery (fixed that one in Hiroshima) only to discover that my accommodation in Tokyo was not quite as wi-fi as it claimed to be.

Let me say that the Bed & Breakfast Zen in Asakusa was actually damn fine accommodation. Basically you get the top floor of a private house.you have your own entrance, a small, though not quite functional kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room. On top of that Mrs. Takeuchi cooks a very good Japanese breakfast (I can't comment on the western style breakfast since I tend to go native when in Japan).

Ahh but the wi-fi issue. The main reason I chose B & B Zen was that it advertised itself as having wi-fi. Technically it did and it was secured as well unfortunately Hemaji, who managed Zen, had a friend set it up so he had no idea what the access key was or how to log into the router. What this meant is that the only way I could access the Internet was using his laptop during the morning in the dining room. I guess on the up side this meant I couldn't login into work, which in turn meant that I didn't think about which meant I actually had a holiday. 

One shouldn't really complain should one
