Nihon II
Land of the rising sun.
My picture of it was two 5 years old.
Old and yellow and frayed in the corners.
Stepping out of the plane. I found words i could read but not understand.
Stepping out of the airport. I sneezed. The Air was different
Waiting for the bus I choked. Peace* was in the air.
On the bus i didnt see much. I was catching up on meditation.
Finding my way to the hotel. Left became right and right became left.
Consulting the man in blue uniform. I heard some buzzing in my ear.
Too loud to hear what he was saying.
I gave up.
I consulted the map.
Something went by me.Too much of a blur to see clearly.
Only could make out two wheels and someone holding some bar with one hand.
Nearly killed me there.
Phew
20mins passed
I was at the counter.
I said i had a reservation
That buzzing started again!
Ah! What IS that buzzing.
But.....wait......
I think i caught a word or two of what she said.....
In the room. I went back to meditating......for a couple of hours.
I hit the streets.
Everything was thrown in my face
The lights
The sights
The smells
The sounds
Then the revelation
I was in Japan.
*Peace was a brand of cigs/fags that my sister bought back on one of her first trips to japan.
She doesnt smoke but it was really funny to have the brand name on it called "peace" so she bought it from one of the many cig/fag vending machines around..
Alright!! Been in osaka for the last two days! The weather is just GREAT.
I said previously that singapore got aircon right?
Well i think i take that back.
Singapore is a heater.
This place is air-coni-fied
like i said earlier, i was so tired from everything to really realise what was happening.
It took me quite some time but i think im slowly catching up on sleep.
Admittedly here im still lost in translation, but its seriously a HUGE improvement compared to the last time.
To actually be able to ask and get a proper reply which i can SORTA understand certainly improves the experience very mcuh.
Theres still quite a fair bit of buzzing going on though (But i think its starting to sound more like music the more i hear it)
Ill let you guys know when i dont hear it at all anymore.
TODAY I saw YUI's new album...
BUT .................... its a bit outta my budget.
At 60 SGD for a CD.. i dont think i can afford it.
Sadly for me the exchange rate has been killing me
Its so bad that everything that was previously expensive..
Is now REALLY expensive..
Dang...
Undoubtly i really love this place.
The weather is great. Super cooling.
The toilets are so darn clean you'd think youre at home.
Well ok not ALL of them, but most of them.
And the place im staying in is just great.
It may be a hotel, but when you stay in a twin room, its actually comparable to many other places when you take into account the location, security, comforts and service.
Its about 7800 Yen for a double share which is about 58 per pax.
Ok so thats not freaking cheap compared to hostels. But if you take the everything into account, I realised i really appreciate the convinence.
Some hostels basically are nice and cheap, but the location may be really hard to get to.
Plus at this place, for everything 10 nights i stay here, i get one night free and on certain days(sundays) they give 30% off (dependent on which city youre in- They have many of them located over japan).
Anyhow enough about lodging.
The Food is just AWESOME...
Expensive.
BUT AWESOME...
Just had one of my favourite meals here.
Gyudon with egg! - The eggs raw!!
For those who cant stand eating eggs raw you should at least try eating it this way once.
If you hate it, thats fine. If not you shouldnt go down without trying it !
Besides that, I cant forget the crazy cyclist here.
These guys are SUPER skilled. To be able to actually cycle into a CROWD and weave their way through it.
Is really remarklable.
Gah ok.. My legs are cramping up right now.
The computer terminals here are all such that you have to stand to use it.
Better run. Need more sleep.
My のど is starting to itch. I sense a sore throat coming on.
Hope everythings cool at SG..
Till next time!
Ja ne!
* plenty of mistakes i know but i cant be bothered at the moment.. not that i was ever bother .. wahaha.
