i really can't be fucked updating, but i know i'll regret it if i don't.
Japan is incredible. i have never seen anything like it. for a city that has millions of people living here, it just works so well. they really have their shit sorted. trains are on time to the second and the underground is so organised and efficient.
yesterday we walked around the suburb that we are staying in, and found cute little markets down the road. the people here are so fucking nice. every time i have bought something, they say 'i give you a present' and then give you a choice of beautiful little gifts. they are such lovely and respectful people.
last night got a bit out of hand, to say the least. we started with a few vodkas in our room at the hostel, and then headed into the city to catch the pub crawl, but we were heaps late and missed it. wasn't too fussed, to be honest. we stayed at a pub and had a few drinks. went to numerous other bars because everyone kept offering us free shots, which we gladly accepted. got absolutely trasheddd. went to another bar and hung out with a Japanese family, who kept feeding us all drinks/shots. baaad idea. not too sure on the details, but at one point i looked around and thought everyone had left. so for some reason, i thought it'd be a good idea to go to the tube station to catch the train home. realised i didn't know how to get home. freaked out. went to a police station for directions. realised i didn't have my passport on me. started crying, and the poor police officers couldn't understand what i was saying because i was sobbing so much. not too sure what happened after that. but the next thing i remembered was being on the train, and somehow making it home. i have absolutely no idea how i remembered what stops to get off at. it's an absolute miracle i made it back. craziest/drunkest night ever. we all had a good laugh about it this morning. Kathy ended up passing out in an alley.
today was lovely. i'm loving the shit out of this cold weather. we went into the city and looked around for a bit. the food here is ridiculously good and cheap. the city is like one bit neon light. it's cray cray. i love people watching and just seeing how this amazing city works.
i am probably not even making sense, and i can't be bothered going over what i have written to see if it is coherant. soz.
i'll do a proper update tomozza xxxxxx
