I’ve only really delt with jet lag on three occasions, first when I went from the States to London, then when I went to Las Vegas from South African and now from South Africa to Japan. The worst part is the disorientation you feel when you manage to sleep and then wake up suddenly, and it’s not nice being tired when you should be wide awake. The only real cure for jet lag as far as I can tell is to get as much sleep as you can when you should, basically forcing yourself into the routine of your new location. Today is Tuesday as I write this, and we arrived on Sunday and have managed to sleep at the right times, so we’ll see how we’ve adjusted throughout the busy day. 1r265

Today should be a load of fun, we’re going to the South African Embassy, which I’m really looking forward to. I’ve visited the South African Embassy in Cairo and seen South Africa House in London, so it will be fun to chalk up another bit of South Africa and meet South Africans living in Japan.
