home!
the plane ride was forever long, but i got lucky. one of the guys from my program was in the seat next to me. of the 5 of us that were on the plane, i think i got lucky because he is the one i spoke to the most on the trip. so i made him watch monster in law, and we chatted, and he futzed with my channel, turning the televsion off, pulling out my headphones. good times. i tried sleeping, but i couldnt seem to get comfortable. so my eyes were really bloodshot when i went to catch my second plane.
me traveling, is not my most graceful form. you should have seem me walking from the dorm to the train station. i was carrying two messanger bags, a pillow and a stuffed animal, as well as 2 cart bags, a large one and a smaller one. the biggest problem was that the bigger cart bag doesnt have a pull out handle (it broke before i left) so i had to basically drag the darn thing. it was aweful. even without the larger bag, inside the airport im sure i looked like a mess carrying all the stuff.
i hope i got enough omiyage which, bringing everything back it doesnt look like i bought that much, though im sure i spent enough money! =P
i have a ton of pictures and i might put a few on livejournal if i get around to it. because i would like to put stories next to the pictures instead of just putting then in a gallery without an explanation for them.
i also got out to swing dancing, which was really awesome. the scene is japan is the same as any scene you might find anywhere across america. same music, same dances. i would say the quailty of leads was pretty good, and the lesson i went to everyone had at very least, comfortable lindy. the teacher that they had had, had been there for a year (i assume) and was from seattle. he had been dancing for 10 years (he was 21) and i took videos of him too. the didnt do much balboa (because i dont think it was popular or everyone knew it) and the charleston i saw or follow was done to the wrong kinds of songs, or done pretty boringly, but the lindy was over all good and the club was really crowded.
more later, if you are nice.
