Wake up time
December 30, 2001
We got back from a three day trip from Tokyo this morning at 6am and then slept a few hours before getting up now. Tokyo is rather different than Osaka. The people seem more trendy than here. The city itself is so busy. And huge, did I say it’s huge? We took a bus there instead of the shinkanzen because it was about $200 cheaper ~ each. We stayed at the Hilton which was pretty nice, we got a free upgrade to business level for some unknown reason. For another unknown reason, I bought a gameboy advance because I wanted something to do on the 9 hour busride. There are really cool games for it, mostly RPGs, but what I failed to realize is that I needed to understand the language before i could play an rpg. So i ended up buying Wario for it.
I can’t wait for the new year because it gets crazy with activities around this time. New Year’s is a much more important celebration than christmas here - not a surprise since the major religions are buddhism and shintoism. I have tonnes of pictures I will show you when i return - about a week from now. doh.
