Here being JAPAN. I'm in Japan. You guys. I'm in Japan. And still surprisingly calm. Maybe it's just me.
Got here safe and sound! The plane rides and connections went off without a hitch and I really enjoyed the, uh, 14-hour plane trip. I made friends with several passengers, acted as a sort-of translator for the French couple sitting next to me who, with their accented French-English couldn't understand the Stewardesses accented Japanese-English, and made friends with Kasano-san, an incredibly cute, nice, and helpful stewardess who proceeded to involve me in the longest Japanese conversation I've had since that program at UofM.
I made sure that I got up and walked the aisles at least once every hour or so. I was one of like, one person who did so (meaning ME. Only ME. NO ONE CARED ABOUT BEING SEDENTARY FOR 12 HOURS) and I logged over 2,000 steps just on the airplane. I'm proud of myself as that's pretty cool.
Met Donna right where she said she'd be and we went to go obtain our various passes and money and. Guys. GUYS I AM IN. JAPAN.
It hasn't quite sunk it but whoa, for serious this is crazy it is. How crazy? Well being I just came from the airport to the subway to the hotel (which, all things considering is pretty nice. Small, but, you know, it's not like we need it for anything other than a place to sleep), I don't have a lot of pictures. Those will come however, those will come.
( For now... )
We are now off to Ueno to shop and look at things and attempt to stay awake a few more hours before crashing. Tomorrow? Osaka!
PS, Japan, I know I left Michigan for you but really, it's okay, you don't have to be freezing. Stop making me regret leaving my winter coat behind.
PPS, Brittany. When did you have time?
