I made it to Japan! After a grueling 13 hour flight that left me sick :( we made it to the airport and realized we had a thousond questions and no idea where we were going (oops). we managed to get directions to our hostel, exchange money and then take a bus and a subway to our destination. The japanese are very friendly and were helpful when we asked our stupid questions. We had a bit of a hard time finding our hostel as its on a side road and as we asked 2 police men to help us another tourist told us we'd been standing in front of it for 10 minutes. We definitely underestimated how hard it was going to be to carry our backpacks, day packs and purses. We struggled a lot.
Our hostel is very very tiny and ashley and i are sleeping in bunk beds that are in what was once a small closet. my head hits one wall and my feet hit the other. Ive never felt taller in my life. Last night we went to a japanese restaurant that actually turned out to be a korean restaurant. It reminded me of shabu tatsu and we ordered from pictures of raw meat because no one spoke english and ended up ordering an assortment of beef and mystery meat that turned out to be liver and either pork, tongue or any other white meat that is definitely not chicken. We tasted everything but we're still not sure. At the table next to us a man fell asleep while eating and his friends did not wake him for an hour. We took pictures. People like to laugh as us because we're clumsy with our backpacks and have no idea what is going on. Once we took our backpacks off we got sea legs. It was definitely an odd experience.
Sorry this blog post was a bit boring, I still feel a bit disoriented. Today we are going to explore Tokyo! I hope I start to feel better as the day progresses. Email me about your life! I love and miss everyone!
