JAPAN!


Okay, so I am in Japan, pretty jet lagged....

-Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom, I have not really been out to enjoy yet.
-Ate sushi yesterday, yuuuum!
-Pretty warm here, I wore too much today and sweated.
-So clean. Like... escalaters run fine without garbage jammed. *I forgot that could be normal.
-People are so quiet in the elevator and train
-I think people think I am a fool since I look Japanese but do not know anything, staring at everything, asking directions, ordering coffee with odd Japanese.
-Everything makes me feel nostalgic.
-Japanese train smells like... hair spray and their closets at home.
-Again, I am almost getting lost at Otemachi, it is a huge station.
-Everybody, especially women speak very polite, they all talk like elevator operator/dept. announcement voice. I dont know why their voice change.
-Security people in Japan are pretty friendly. Ojisan "middle age men " know that I am totally not from Tokyo and very kind.
-Japanese people eat lunch so quick....
-Japanese people like meetings and reporting everything in writing. Waste of time.


I tried to stay awake whole afternoon, I am still sleepy!

はははー、よくわかるよ、そのリスト!
まぁ、あたしは見た目がアメリカンだから、
ただの迷った外人に見えるらしく、
片言英語で頑張ってくれちゃうから、
しかたなくこっちも英語でレスが何度かw
さすがに、江ノ島のスパ/温泉で
真っ裸でサウナで英語で声かけられた時はビックリしたw
どこまで、日本人フレンドリーなんだよぉってw

17日かぁ。
次の日幼馴染の結婚式なんだよね、あたし。

妊婦だから夜はちょっときついかも…
たかあきに子供頼まなあかんし…残念。

hey Sak! you are in Japan!!! so envy you! I miss Korea too. I totally understand how and what you felt in Japan. I always forget how clean and people so polite and quite. ^^ I guess we're living in weird world.
Enjoy your time as much as possible while you stay in Japan. Eat lots of good foods too.
Sushi looks so good!!!! You know how much I love sushi and sashimi. I can't eat sushi until end of Oct. too bad!!!
