TOKYO!!


Yar! Tonight I board a bus at 20:40 and in approxiamtely 10 hours time I shall be in Tokyo. How excitement is that! I am going to visit a friend who is studying there for a month. I haven't seen him in a long time so I am heaps looking forward to catching up. NOT looking forward to the massive bus ride though. I have exhausted myself today though by jumping around more than usual in classes so hopefully I can just sleep without too much issue. Last time I took a bus here it was quite a disaster involving trying to get on the wrong bus and waiting around for several hours in the dead of night in freezing temperatures for the right bus. When we did eventually get on a bus it kept stopping every few hours to let people off to mill around and left the door open the whole time so cold air could get in and wake us all up. I saw snow falling for the first time from that stupid bus.

Here's a picture of what the rice fields around my house are now looking like. Lovely and green. Full of mosquitoes and frogs.
