D Day
As the kiwi forces invade the Japanese boarder in full force!
It’s 4 AM and i had approximately 2 hours sleep to kick off the quarter life crisis
It was tough in the airport this morning. I thought about texting Amy 4 times and repetitively described my love and heart ache for her via text, but I couldn’t bring myself to press send. My friend Rachelle has told me that it takes approximately 50 days with no contact to move forward and if you make one single piece of communication you are back to day one. I am on day 5 so I’m 10% of the way there!
I purchased a new companion for traveling today, his name is Gerald and he is a brown Alpaca from some souvenir shop in the airport…. best $27 dollars i spent today.
The flight to tokyo is around 11 hours and 50 minutes and will consist for me of about 5 hours of napping and 5 hours of watching films and 1.5 hours eating, i always struggle with long haul travel as you always end up stuck next to some one who is overtly large or incredibly unclean!…. oddly the flight has 53 passengers and there are hundreds of empty seats! So i can pretty much roam through the cabin at my leisure
Right Houston we have liftoff!
Update you shortly
————————-11.5 hours later in Tokyo japan —————————-
I never thought i would say this, but i thought i could manage a city of 40 million people on my own, however i got drastically lost for about 45 minutes carrying 25KGs up and down the street trying to ascertain what way was north and what way was east. I eventually gave Alex step by step images of what shops i was standing outside and got to the wise owl hostel in Shibuya,
The hostel was a Modern building with a small foyer area along with a Bar and a Cafe the place was jam packed on a Friday night with people from all over the world laughing shouting drinking swearing smoking and one person was even crying this was all happening while i slid back the glass door in what i would describe as the Inferno raging outside at 36 Degrees Centigrade…. the weather app said it felt like 44, and this was at 7PM at night!.
Checking in was easy 13200 yen later i had a bed and a towel along with a big sweaty stain on my shirt and smelt like stagnant marsh water
I hadn’t eaten since the flight into tokyo….which was this weird chicken rice dish…not at all appetising but foods food, Anyway i decided to venture down stairs to the smokers area and met a whole bunch of guys from all corners of the globe, one chap i met was called Ben Bourke, he is from Australia and exploring japan for a few weeks, he has had a lot of life experience and seem to have found that traveling is the most important thing in life for him.
There were a few Americans and also a few British guys as well, i skipped eating and got straight into the beer and socialised, they all had there own story about why they are traveling, no one gave judgement to there life situation or what had landed them in Japan.
I was wise enough to bring a Bluetooth speaker with me on this trip and that seemed to come in handy music is what i would describe as a universal language and helps bridge some gaps, especially when you don’t know much about the people sitting around you.
We sat until about 1Am listening to Music from all different Genres from everyone’s phone, singing and laughing until the beer Hit Us like a Ton of bricks in the heat!
I think its time for bed!
