The land of the rising sun and fangirl dreams...
In case you aren't on my Facebook I am currently in Japan until the 19th. So far it's been not too bad. I can't read for jack, and my speaking is limited to super basic things like please, thank you, and pardon me. Boy,if it's one thing I can say is sumemasen. That has come out of my mouth a lot. Overall though, I am having a good time.
Yesterday Jose and I ventured to Shinjuku and taking the train was quite an adventure, especially on the way back, because t we had to take 4 trainsback to the hotel. As much as I am desperated to go to Harajuku and Akiharaba I am very nervous to take the train by myself. I am super scared of getting lost, especially when I don't speak the language well and can't read the language at all. I should have paid attention in class back when I was a Japanese major.
Overall, I've not had a lot of stares, except for when I don't have my decolletage is visible. I do try to keep it covered with sweaters and such, but it truly is what it is.
So far I like being here and I'll post a little each day about my adventures in Japan.
