Tokyo Stop over enroute to Frankfurt - January 2005

This was in my hotel in Japan, I took Japan airlines from Manila and I had to stop in Tokyo, where I had a complimentary night at the Hotel Nikko something. I lived in Europe for a year, but had the shock of my life with the prices of things in Tokyo. Sheeeeeesh! 10,000 yen dinner at a normal restaurant? 5 dollar local phone calls? I'm glad i live in the third world if that's the case...
