Hey, all!
James here, from Japan of course! Figured I'd drop a line while I could. Today is technically Friday here in Japan, hehe. At any rate, On Wednesday (Yesterday for all of you in America) I started travelling from my sister's best friend's house north of Seattle to an airplane in Seattle and we boarded it for a 9 1/2 hour flight! Whee!
After that, we spent more time trying to get to another friend's house in Japan, and here I am! If you count the total hours, we were travelling for 18 hours straight or so! Wheeeee!
So yeah, after we rode all of the trains in Japan (the Shinkansen, etc) to get where we wanted, we were stuck because we needed a taxi and we couldn't find one. After waiting for a while, some random businessman comes up to us and offers to take us to our friend's house! (At this point our friend was with us.) So, he got his car, we piled in and drove to her house! We gave him a couple of presents, in the form of a flashing Google pin that you can pin to things magnetically and also in the form of a San Francisco Bridge shaped chocolate! Wheeeee!
So, that's my adventure thus far. Hope you guys are enjoying yourself!
Ciao,
James
