HALLOOOOO FROM JAPPAAAANNN!
I should have made this entry last night, except shouwa and I putzed around Ikebukero and made Uchiwa (WHICH ARE HARDER THAN THEY LOOK GOD DAMNIT.) BUT! Mine is (mostly) done. Gonna try to grab more bling for it in Fukuoka today.
See?
&
Second side DEFINITELY needs more bling. Definitely.
Flight was good, if tiring. I got extra leg room but I think in reality they should offer extra ASS room seats that are not First Class or business. I may be kinda fat, but I'm not WIDE. I couldn't even tuck my foot up under my knee, which is a kind of default sitting position for me, without a pillow to protect my knee from the side of the chair. I was next to a really nice Japanese lady and her 15 month old named Arisa. She's married to an American so she speaks to Arisa in solely Japanese while he talks to her in English. Arisa, aside from being wiggly, was very well behaved on the flight and ADORABLE. Oh god, she was so cute. Momma (I missed her name) complimented my Japanese when I was talking to Arisa and we had a discussion about why I was coming (she liked that my favorites were Nino and Ohno and saw I'd been rewatching HYD and said she really liked it).
I'm kind of not looking forward to another SIX HOURS of travel today, but luckily it's on a shinkansen, which, compared to a trans-pacific flight is the lap of pure luxury. Speaking of, I need to go make myself presentable and truck my ass to Tokyo station so I can catch one.
I shipped my luggage to Fukuoka, but sadly I will not have it until tomorrow morning. NO MAKE UP FOR MEEEEEE. ;____;
I'm leaving these entries about Japan unlocked so I can link to my family, so be pleasant in the comments, please? :p
Day 1 Pictures (will keep updating this every day!)
