6/22/10

Gahh its already tuesday the 22nd! Where did monday go!? So today was literally all travel. We flew from LAX at around 1pm and got to Tokyo around 4pm the next day. Then we took the bullet train (shinkansen) from Tokyo to Kyoto. The train ride took about 2 1/2 hours and the plane ride took about 11 hours. The plane ride wasn't that bad, but I had my pillow from home so I literally had no space. And I didn't get up to stretch throughout the whole flight, so when I got up I felt really weak and puny (Just like Wayne feels everyday.) We finally got to the house around 11pm. I made the mistake of sleeping on the bullet train because now I feel kind of awake. I already had a funny encounter with our project director. I was showing someone on our team the house and the conversation went like this,

ME: "Okay so here's the bathroom, the bathroom light is right here so it's not actually inside the bathroom."
*I flip the light switch*
*Then I try to open the bathroom door, but it wont open*
ME: "Man, the door is hard to open."
ANDY: "Oh, I think Kerby is in the bathroom."
KERBY: "Yes, please turn the light back on too."

Yep, already off to a great start! I think tomorrow we're taking it pretty easy and exploring the city. It still hasn't really hit me that we're in Japan already. I really hope it hits me soon.
