Let me begin by saying "Hello" and WHEW!"
So many crazy things have happened since my last post and frankly my dears I barely survived it all.
After the wide eyed wonderment and optimism of my last post , Metaphorical Shit hit the Metaphorical fan!
I had a huge falling out with my boyfriend which ended what I had thought to be our loving, trusting relationship, turns out I was sorely mistaken.... Lets just say literally Nothing was what it seemed :/ Of course being the man of a million chances that I am we have reunited, broken up and reunited again. Emotional wiplash for you all too eh? And of course these life crumbling events all take place mere days before I'm to leave for my first out of country trip to the beautiful Japan.
I made sure that by the time that I left New York my relationship with... we'll call him.... Michael, was in a good place. I was determined not to spend my time dwelling on some dude back in America when I should be livin it up in Tokyo!
I documented daily my trip, as much as i could...i was pretty busy thinking "I wonder what all these signs say...?"
I'll be posting a day of my adventures in Japan every day this week, so if you would like to know what happens next, tune in!
August 9th
Day 1, travel day!
In the air. We've been flying for about 5 hours now....the guy next to me is kinda smelly I'm not gonna lie.
9 hours left.....9 hours of mediocre Jennifer lopez romantic comedies and straight to DVD horror flicks...oh, that and Asians, but they I actually like :)
Despite the unfortunate aftertaste left in my cinematic mouth by these poorly thought out and clearly made in a minute movies, they do leave me missing a certain boyfriend I left back in the states. Though...I may still be in the states....not sure...let's say I'm flying Over the rolling hills of...uh...Sweden...yes, sweden and I can just make out a milkmade fighting with a sheperdess over...the....proper handleing techniques of young goatlets.
Realisticly Im probably flying over Cleveland where a bunch of construction workers are taking there post work dump in a beautifuly lined row of "Johnny on the spot"s
I'll let you know how hours 6-14 go :)
It's now 10:38pm, it has yet to get dark, wich frankly I find annoying. I think dinner was some detestable roll full of green bean mush.
I am currently on my fifth "film" of the evening "how to train your dragon" . Out of everything I've watched on this bird this is by far the best one.
I've got to pee with a fury & unfortunately have a window seat wich means in order to release the burden of my bladder I would need to climb over a sleeping Japanese couple. Not an option. Orrrr....no no definitely not.
Still missing Michael James.
Turns out it was an option & I am quite the stealthy couple jumper. Climbed right over Mr & Ms sleeper and succesfuly releived myself :)
It's 1:37am for me, 1:37pm in japan.
No wait...a Stewardess just announced on the overhead that it's 25 minutes to 3....and that we would land in an hour....well sounds good to me!
However I was engrossed in the thriller "cellular", we were towards the end and now I'm missing it for the "landing procedures" video...not cool japan NOT cool!
I'm determined to Muscle through this first day without sleep and therefore eliminate this demon "jet lag" that I hear attacks international travelers.
Now I'm missing my boyfriend and Brother....see them both in a week!
5:30 pm
Landed, filled out customs papers, got picked up and now headed to Tokyo! everything here from the toilets to the ice cream vending machines look so awesome!
Thats all for Day 1 Folks!
I'll post how the end of day 1 wrapped up and what happened Day 2 Tomorrow :)
See ya lata bye!
