I grudgingly woke up at 9 AM after getting only about 2 hours of sleep in order for my cousin and I to get to the airport on time. Went through security like butter. The 10 hour flight went by pretty quickly. I watched a bit of Kung Fu Panda, Be Kind Rewind, and Iron Man on the plane. Played 3 player Bomberman DS and Mario Party DS with my cousin's 2 friends from his school that were also traveling with us.
When I stepped outside the plane onto Japan soil, the familiar Asian humid air around me enveloped my whole body. What a familiar feeling. That didn't last for long though as we stepped further and further into the airport. Everything in Japan is air conditioned. The trains, the buildings, and every separate room in houses as well. Well at least in Iki's, my cousin Peter's girlfriend, house.
As you may have already known, trains are the most common mode of transportation in Japan. We took about 4 different trains as well as about 5 minutes of walking to get to Iki’s house. All in all it’s pretty convenient.
Once we reached Iki’s house, it started to rain and thunder tremendously. Huge back to back thunder that shook the house. Pretty crazy. Anywho, Iki’s folks made us Curry Tonkatsu (Fried pork chop with curry sauce) which was very delicious. After a quick bath and a change of clothes, it’s currently 10PM and due to jetlag, I’m pretty tired and will try to continue posting everyday.
Peace, Izzy.
