First impressions

August 25, 2007

I have arrived in Japan.  The plane ride went well, just my right blocking up and giving me a huge headache on the first part of my trip.  I had to take 2 planes to get here.  In all it took me about 18 hours to arrive at my destination.  To get to my apartment, I took an express train to Shinjuku.  On the way I was able to see the surrounding environment and cities.  I was wide-eyed the whole way.  If you saw me you would think I was a kid in a candy store.  Finally, I got to see my place and it looks nice.  Plus bigger, than I originally expected, which was a welcome suprise.  The only problem is that there are ambulances passing by every hour.  A lot of people seem to get hurt around here.  As you can see so far so good.  I will be back with more soon.

Tomorrow is the D-day

August 22, 2007

Tomorrow morning my Japanese adventure will start.  I will get on the plane at 8h30 and will be in the air for a total of 16 hours.  During this time, I will to change flights once and arrive at my destination at 4h10 pm on Friday.  If everything goes well.  I am stressed about my trip, but, also, anxious to get it started and to be in Tokyo to start my new life.  I don’t know when I will get internet at my place, but I will look for some hotspots in the near by cafés to keep everyone posted on how I am doing.

See you then
