this travel diary will be about my trip to japan :)
hopefully in the future i can look back and remember all of the cool stuff that has happened ^^
days one and two are kind of all over the place!
my first flight was delayed because of mechanical troubles so we missed our flight to japan... thankfully the customer service people there were very helpful and got us a hotel room and new tickets for the next morning. so i also got to see new york city! but only from far away lol
the next morning things went smooth, and we started our 13 hour flight. it was my first time on a plane like that, and man it was so uncomfortable!! lol
i tried to sleep the best i could to help with the time change but that didnt work very well. we had butter chicken and rice as our in flight meal and it was really good :) i watched some weird movie about a lawyer who was trying to stop pollution from a factory and the twist at the end was it was a coverup for the government making missiles??? i was so confused lol but after that i just kinda listened to my own music and rode out the rest of the flight.
(it may be hard to tell, but there is tokyo! lol)
once we landed in japan and went through customs and everything, i looked at our app and it said our bags were already at our final destination. so i took my mom to our next gate where an attendant said we left our bags and i would have to go back across the whole airport and go get them, and we would miss our flight. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜Â
so i told my mom to just wait there and i went by myself to get our bags. it was super annoying having to deal with all of the stupid rules at the airport, but thankfully there was a really nice lady there that helped out a lot! i owe her my life orz
after that whole debacle, we had one more short flight but we made it in one piece :) then took a taxi (so fancy!) to where we are staying.
ive never traveled outside of the US before so i was kinda scared at the beginning, but once i arrived that feeling went away and i started feeling more and more excited. im hoping to speak lots of japanese to people and improving!Â
(view from the street :) i love the way the blue tile looks!)
i guess today is day 3, so ill wait for tomorrow to write the next entry ^^ but its been a good day so far!

AAHHHH! TRAVELING TO JAPEN!!! THATS SO COOL!
did you learn the language (or already know it) before going? what rules are there in the airport is it more Strick than the us? Cant think of many rules that would be diffent.
yeah i did learn it already, it was my major in college :) but its a lot more difficult in real life!! lol
i guess the rules are more or less the same, but for example if you are on the wrong side of the road you cant cross the street, you have to go back in the building, go around, then come back out the other side... super frustrating ><"
