Love from China Japan! This Chinese-language tour thing is so... well, pointless for me. At least it means I have no problem sleeping on the bus.
The Keio Plaza Hotel has free 'net access, so I can get my hit. *twitch*
It's been a stressful 5 days since my family came. Since I had to plan their whole time, and then they argued with me about the plan, it was really frustrating. Like, I tried to take your interests into account, you all tell me anything's good and I should decide, and as soon as I decide, every other option is the better choice. Oh well. Now we're safely on our tour, and I don't have to feel pressure anymore.
said goodbye to the host family.
I cancelled my keitai today. nanka, sabishii. It was my (other) connection to the outside world. Of course, since almost everyone is kind of not in Japan anymore, it's not like I had anyone to contact.
I kept wanting to 'escape' into every eki we passed and 'go home,' except, of course, it's not home anymore. hen deshou.
Shinjuku tonight; 'free time' Took my immediate family and my cousin joe to.... El Torrito, of course. And we ran into Risako. ;__;
Today we left the ANA hotel out by narita (we took the keisei back to meet our tour. Confused the cousin and the aunt by 'just arriving in narita' when we were supposed to be there for 5 days (and 10 months, respectively) already.
Apparently, the usual hotel is the hilton, but there was some sort of convention, so we went somewhere else and had to eat dinner not in the hotel. Our bus took us to a mall over in narita (the town) -- got lost on the way; our tour guide talked the whole time in Chinese -- i had maguro and avocado don.
Today, we got our wake-up at 6:30 am (they're obviously counting on us to be nice and jetlagged), drove to the Imperial Palace garden thingy, then Asakusa -- lunch and the temple to Kannon, next, Ginza (where us girls took refuge in a coffee shop), Meiji-jingu, and finally, our hotel by 5. After that we were given free time, so I went to cancel my phone.
Tomorrow, we're off to the Hakone area and I finally get my hot spring. Thank you, God.
I have a headache. And I'll need to practice my karaoke, if I'm to have to sing in front of the whole tour group.
the annie is cute; the jianjian's kon!hand is cute and speaks in Japanese.
