Hello, Shinjuku

Hello, Tokyo. I am back again! It got warmer than the last week. You don't need a jacket. Since last night, my best friend in Tokyo was in labor and I was so anxious and couldn't sleep much, which made me fall sleep all the way from NYC to Tokyo. It was like when I woke up, I was at Narita! direct flight is so much better.

昨晩は、親友が破水ということで、興奮して2時ごろまで眠りにつけず、そのせいか飛行機の中は爆睡で、1本映画を見て、少し仕事の本を読んだぐらいで、13時間中の8時間は寝たようです。起きたら東京、といった具合でした。(笑)やっぱり直行便は早く感じる。(体が慣れてきた?)飛行機に乗る前に、親友の「陣痛が始まった!」のメール。もう、、気になって気になって。成田に到着したら、無事に誕生していました。(おめでとう!まるちゃん)

それにしても、東京は海外からきてwifiが使えるところがなさすぎる、、(お金払えばあるけど)今回は、NTTのHotSpotか、ソフトバンクのBBモバイルのプリペイドを試してみようと思います。使ったことある人、いる?電話使うより、WifiでIP経由で話したほうがいいし、、。携帯でメールチェックできないと気持ち悪いのだ。(現代病)

I am not too familier with Shinjuku but I don't think I like it... so many people but somehow this big city has a sense of lonliness to it. (or maybe it's only me that think so!) I was walking around to find a good spot to eat but ended up going to a (Japanese) diner nearby the hotel and ordered hamburgu and a glass of wine. It cost me 1600 yen, hmmm, not sure if it was cheap or what.  It was first time for me to go to diner alone. I really don't like eating by myself :( but no choice today. Shinjuku makes me feel lonelier....

ちょっとファミマの「ファミポート」という機械で、wifiのプリペイドが買えるというので、探していたら、無人オフィスビルに迷い込んだっつーねん。なんでドアあいてんだよ!!こわいよっ!!!新宿やだ~。もう次回は泊まりません、、。

I was looking for some machine at convenience store and ended up visiting this empty scary looking office building!! why do they leave the door open ???????? I am sure it was a safe place but its so creepy to be alone there and I ran out as fast as possible. I miss NY.
