TOKYO!
It was awesome, plain and simple. Going to Tokyo was awesome.
Saturday was flying out and Disneyland. The flight was incredibly short, and was over before I knew it. The airport process was also fairly painless. Domestic flights here seem pretty nice. The plane we flew in was a really new Boeing (sorry, spelling) and it was really really big.
DisneyLand was really fun, I enjoyed that. BUT, it was raining the whole time, which was definitely a downer. The whole day I spent with Ayaka, the head of Rotex (students that have gone abroad already) so it was pretty fun. We pretty much just walked around and enjoyed the time. Only went on two rides, Pirates of the Carribbean and Space Tours (based on Star Wars). The first was definitely good, and the latter was…headache inducing, but still fun. We also did some funny stuff and were in kind of a crazy mood. Ayaka was pretending to be Chinese.
The Hotel night was ok. Nothing special, besides the fact the Hotel was super super fancy, but that’s just the way Rotary rolls. I was paired with the German foreign exchange student, he’s cool, but basically we just slept. I know some of the other students were up really late, I couldn’t handle that with my lack of sleep during the week though.
In the morning we didn’t have breakfast really, but that’s because we were going to a buffet for lunch. It was the most food I’d eaten since coming to Japan. It was in the Hotel and incredibly fancy too. Equivalent of $40USD / person. I’m sure we got a group discount, but wow. When Rotary does things, it goes a bit overboard. I’m sure there was a cheaper restaurant somewhere. I really won’t complain though, because I enjoyed it a lot.
So, that is Sunday, and after we went on a bus tour of Tokyo, and also went down the river on a boat. Both things are as fun as those types of tours get. Then the flight home went really well, so yay, I got to see Tokyo.
I want to go back with my friends though. Definitely need to be able to have some freedom to explore, shop, and a lot more time. It was a really short trip.
Today was good, glad to see my friends again. Overall, today was actually pretty fun. We were all just laughing and joking and everything was very happy. I think tomorrow has to be a bad day, to make up. Lest the world go out of balance. Unless a Japanese boy in America had a really bad day today… (Ok, enough hypothesizing)
I’ll upload pictures tomorrow, I took a ton!
