kom ban wa!!!!and like that, its the second day of my stay in japan.. :p
if youve heard about the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that hit 100 miles off tokyo last night, dont worry. im fine. didnt feel a thing. slept through it.. what to do. so tired after yesterday. first the plane got delayed.. only took off at 0030, almost an hour later..
on reaching, took a shuttle bus to shinjuku station for ¥3000. and from then on, it was all walking sia.. tried to find the hostel office using only an address and a map. walked round and round (until i got dizzy) and up and down (until i couldnt differentiate up from down), finally managing to find it.
then it was walking again, at first wanted to walk to the hostel, but realised it was crazily far. changed plans and took a number of trains (what to do.. got so many different operators that dont work together like SMRT and SBS) to the nearest station. then walk again to find the house. and all that walking while dragging a suitcase whose pulling handle decided to break off lah! FREE STUFF IS THIS QUALITY WAN! remember that everyone. that said, the rail and metro here? way waay waaaaaaaayyy better than those in singapore lah. (ok. thats an exaggeration) i must say although they are not as new, it is still clean, nice smelling (even though smoking is allowed in the stations)
then i slept early, at about 9pm.. which is 8pm sg time. for the first time in like 124346678578567453453 years! and this morning, woke up bright and early at 7.30am, 6.30am sg time, again like never before in 214235547568697569098978567 years lah!
tried to walk the route from my new home here to school. realised it takes almost 1 hour 15 mins.. guess will have to include bus and trains in the travelling when classes start..
weather here has been great. wonderful in fact. no wonder everyone here is in suits! the guys at least.. that morning walk if done back home would have left me wet in sweat like i jumped into a swimming pool! but i didnt even break out in any perspiration. shioks! can take out all the nice clothes to wear and dont have to worry about spoiling it or dirtying it. hahaha..
and no wonder everyone here so slim and fit! they walk EVERYWHERE! otherwise they cycle around man.. the number of cars are not small, compared to back home, but if go by the ratio of cars to people, its definitely very small.. more thoughts on cars here later..
ok. having fun here, still its only two days.. will see if in 60 days, im still having fun. i'll bet i will. :p
oh ya.. pictures will follow soon. i promise!!
