So, since I have an entire day to just sit and hang out on the computer, I thought I would share some of the interesting things I've seen around the airport. DAMN I wish I had time to explore Japan. If only it weren't like the most expensive place on the planet, I would love to live here. There really are vending machines all over the place! Just as I always dreamed there would be.
-The water faucets have knobs with exact temperatures for the water. I realize now that that isn't cool at all, but in my apartment in Vietnam, there is one temperature for faucets: whatever the hell comes out.
-The toilets have a weird electric button that makes a flushing sound when you aren't flushing. I don't really get it, but they are motion sensitive so all of a sudden while you are going to the bathroom, you hear random flushing noises. And speaking of the bathrooms, I would just like to say that they are immaculate.
-One of the waiting areas looks like a strange museum: there are modern leather stool-sofa like seats that have museum-like overhead lighting on them, like they are on display. Very strange.
-From my view in the lounge, I can see rows upon rows of cherry blossoms in the distance. Natural disasters aside, it seems like the perfect time to visit.
-while gchatting Maggie, I experienced an earthquake aftershock! It was quite minor and not really an issue at all, but I can now officially say that I experienced a Japanese earthquake aftershock. Not sure why that is cool. It should just be depressing.
Oh man. Every time I go somewhere new, it just becomes that much more clear how little I have seen, and how much I need to pack into my short life. At this rate I will need a decade of country-hopping before I feel like I can settle down. It's almost cruel to give me an 8 hour layover in a place as badass as Japan.
I got onto facebook for the first time in MONTHS! I forgot that there are ways to waste time besides facebook. Thanks to the Vietnamese government, I am now a pro.
