Tokyo 13:45! That's me!
Inside the Vancouver International Airport there is a creek and an aquarium. The perfect spot for a picnic!
THE POINT OF NO RETURN.When I took this photo there were like 5 people behind me upset that I was blocking them.
My flight left Canada 1:45 pm PST and arrived in Japan 3:45 pm the next day! I lost over a day! WTF! This messed me up sleep-wise and when I land in Tokyo I was exhausted. I should have slept on the plane like everyone else but I was too busy watching movies.During the flight they showed Jumper, National Treasure II, and Maverick.
Jumper: Made me want to jump out the plane.
National Treasure II: I saw 2 weeks ago.
Maverick: This was when I started to order beers instead of water from the flight attendants.
When I landed the other teachers and I met our man on the ground who bought us train and bus tickets to our different destinations.
During the 2 and 1/2 hour bus ride I faded in and out of consciousness. I occasionally tried to take pictures but it was raining and nothing was coming out.
When I got off the bus I was greeted by the sub teacher and the JET (Japanese English Teacher) and was escorted to the office which was 100 ft. away from the bus stop. For every person in Japan there are at least 10 vending machines, and while I was on the bus I must've saw close to 1,000 of them. This left me feeling terribly parched, so...
I took immediate action to quench my thirst. I selected a beverage with an apple on it but when it popped out it was some sort of nasty weaksauce tea. I was devastated and dehydrated.
Luckily it was time to eat! We then went to some Korean BBQ place with our manager and ate tons of meat and drank beers. I was no longer tired. In fact I felt great!Beer + Meat = POWER!
Then we went to a bar and drank Dos Equis and played darts! At first I thought each game of darts cost the equivalent to 10 cents. However after about 4 games I suddenly realized it actually cost a dollar per person per game. Damn you yen! Damn you!
The bar we went to was called Havana Club. It had a distinctly commie atmosphere about it but it prices were very capitalistic. The bathroom was painted to look like a rain forest overpopulated with snakes.After Havana we went to 7-11 and got more beers! Then we kicked it for a lil bit.
The End.

i wanna read what and how you are doing in Japan. :)
keep you head up buddie!
all the best..
miss you
i think it's interesting that japanese people were irritated that you were taking pictures at the "point of no return"... isn't that ironic? (who knows, they may not have been japanese, but for humor's sake...)
i saw jumper in the theater... i thought it sucked. it had so much potential but i think the producer went, "fuck it! i'm done!"
i like how your drink says "straight tea." was it located beside the "gay tea"? and were you too insecure with your sexuality that you couldn't dip in the yummy drink?
korean bbq reminds me of just getting off the island with you and cindy :(
My first night here was pretty fun. Beer always assures that a good time is to be had.
Yeah, it reminded me of that too! I had a lot of fun that night. We should go back there when I come back to the states! Except next time someone else drives instead of Cindy. hahaha
