First post in Japan

WOWWWW. 

We’re in Japan. How crazy is life?!?? The last days in the states were full of last minute runs to Target and Walmart. We ate as much Mexican food as possible, froze at the beach to put our toes in one last time, and tried to appreciate all that we would miss. The airport goodbye was tearful (only the female’s end) and full of paparazzi pictures. While the airplane food was terrible and the ride was full of moderate turbulence, the service was excellent. Customs went smoothly, and we found Robert immediately after going through customs.

We had the infamous Mos Burger as our first meal in Japan- delicious, especially after gross airplane food. After a FOUR hour car ride we arrived at Robert’s apartment. Not quite the shoebox I was expecting (there is actually a decent amount of room considering there are three people sharing one apartment), but smaller than any place I’ve ever lived in. 

We got our tickets!!!

Hot towels were handed out at the beginning of the flight and before meals

Twinsies! Reunited again

Today Robert showed us around Hanno- mainly the convenience stores, train station, and 7-11. We had a 7-11 breakfast- Curry Bun for me (a sweet bun filled with curry), pizza bun for John. We came back to the apartment, unpacked, took a nap, and headed out for a late lunch. Sushi was good, except for my mini-meltdown (which I written a separate blogpost for, found here). On the walk back, we stopped by a record/movie store and the mall for some essentials and to learn more about the city.
