Yatta!!! So Adam made it to Japan, and we were about to head out for our hotel in Shinjuku but we did a big lunch with everyone (Jackie, Nick, Sean, Nao, Alipon, Adam, and I). Fun times!!!! <3<3<3 We did a viking, all Japanese style, and it was pretty delicious. It's kinda weird adjusting to a different culture, cause you gotta like... observe more and be careful. LOL.
After lunch we had to say our goodbyes, so Adam and I headed towards Shinjuku. It was soo much better traveling with SOMEONE to a place you've never been too. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one!!! We were able to navigate through Shinjuku station, the largest train station in the world, and find our hotel. Shinjuku is very foreigner-friendly, because they have lots of signs and maps in Japanese and English. Yatta!
So we unpacked our things at the hotel (which damn it was kinda ritzy), and were heading out to leave when... OMG they had a real wedding in the hotel lobby!!! It was awesome!!! They had the chairs lined up in the lobby, and in front of that are 3 elevators you can look into. So before the bride walked down the aisle, her and her father were in one of the elevators, and you could see them waiving to the crowd, it was sooo awesome!! Then she appeared and walked down the aisle. I took a buncha pictures XDDD
Adam and I really wanted to see Akihabara, so we there. We were able to indulge ourselves with little things (super-kawaii things to anime, video games, ect). Adam bought some games, I bought some gashapon and cute things, and omg we found one of my favorite cat mangas!!! Its about a black kitty, SOO FRIGGEN ADORABLE! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3 When we got hungry, we found a Japanese resturant, and I got a unagi-box and I can't remember what Adam got but omg.... I GOT A BONE STUCK IN MY THROAT! I even went into the bathroom to try and cough/dig it out, but it was no use TT-TT It hurt sooo bad!!! It actually hurt for like... 4 days!!! TT-TT I was freaking out because I didn't know what to do. So yeah.. I'm super-scared to eat fish from time-to-time... I feel so bad cause it was like I killed the mood... of course on our way back to the trainstation we found an AWESOME shop but they were closing TT-TT Boo hiss....
The next day we decided we had time for one more trip to that store we wanted to see in Akihabara. It was awesome, they had one figure artist that we both -really- like, and I was able to buy one X3 Plus they had a TON of Miyazaki and Sanrio goods, so I loaded up teeheehee. We then headed back to the hotel, packed up, checked out, and made our way to Tokyo Station. Ugh I was trying not to cry, but how can you not.... I'm not gonna live with my man for 2 years, thats ROUGH SHITT!!! But we got him to his train to get to Narita, and I made my way to catch my Shinkansen to Morioka. It was about 2 1/2 hours, but I made it in once piece. The other english teacher who works on the kindergarten side of the school, Elizabeth, picked me up. I was sooo surprised, shes only been in Morioka for 6 months and she already had a car!!! O_o I wish I had guts like her!!! LOL. She hooked me up with grocery shopping, gettin into my apartment, showing me how to get to work, and everything. She even invited me out to an onsen get-together with some of her friends, soo sweet!
It definitely took a little while to set in that I'm living in Japan.... but yeah once the bills came in I felt it, LOL.
So that wraps up how I got here. Stay posted for more random blogging!!! <3<3<3<3
