Japan Day 6


I was woken up by a strange dream this morning. I dreamed I was in a co-worker’s home, which is strange as I have never been to any of my co-workers’ homes before. I was probably muttering in my sleep because I found myself waking up saying “I was from Canton,” and my mom asking me what I was saying.

Japan Day 1


After 24 hours in transit – a train ride to the airport and 3 plane changes later, I finally arrived in the land of the Rising Sun. I can’t say the flight was at all comfortable and I can’t say I liked the part where I am waiting at airports with inconsistent internet speed but I’m glad to the transit is at least temporarily over.
