I have had my last Tim Horton’s tea and eaten my last Rocky’s hot dog for a while. Although it is only just beginning in Canada, it is now late into my 25th birthday here. All I want to do is go to bed. Everyone wants to go out and it is only 9:30 but I am so jet lagged I couldn’t care less where I am. I made the all important calls back home to let everyone know I am alive. I had a high powered shower so I feel a lot better. My room mate here at the Keio Plaza Hotel is a Frenchie from Chicoutimi, QC. She seems nice and has left to seek out a beer for herself.

The plane ride was not too long. I didn’t really feel all that ill. The movie was not what I thought it would be. I thought it was that movie Quills about the Marquis De Saude but it was actually just called Quill (singular). It was a much tamer show by far. It was the Japanese equivalent to Old Yeller of sorts. The meals were ok, not too crazy. I had chicken and a noodle cup. When the second meal came around my stomach wasn’t feeling up to it and because I was surrounded by vegetarians, their curried stinking chickpea dinners completely took my appetite away. The processing at the airport was very fast too. All in all, a smooth travel experience. I have a huge sense of unreality about being here right now though. It hasn’t sunk in what I have undertaken for the year to come of the separation from friends and family that I agreed to. Its not that the airport goodbyes in Toronto weren’t tough, because they were. I just don’t know how much I miss everyone just yet. I am not overly nervous or excited. That is probably just the jetlag talking though. A good night’s sleep will probably sure things up though. I can’t do much shopping in Tokyo though because I can barely carry my own luggage as it is! I was right to get that insane pink luggage. Only one other person had an even remotely similar bag and she will now be my sworn enemy!

Well that’s all the awake time I can muster. As you can see from this selfie I took, I am ready for bed. I wonder what breakfast will be like tomorrow. Bacon and eggs? I doubt it…

Hey April!
Glad to hear you made it there alright. I would for sure miss the wakey, wakey eggs and bakey.
It probably won't hit you, the missing me. It will slowly set in, and one night you will cry. Its understandable. I would miss me too.
Keep the posts coming lady. :D And be careful over there, Japan isn't a place you go to by yourself you know. ;)
OH and Happy Birthday!!
