arrival in tokyo

so i am here and writing this on wednesday in the morning even though back home i am still celebrating my birthday. i had a decent trip. it was long but i met some people on the plane who are going to tailand to do relief work and some nice japanese people who showed me that i was going in wrong directions. last night i met up with james and we went to naomi's for dinner. her place is really cool and authentically japanese. i began feeling the jetlag though and on my way home fell asleep standing up on the subway. a number of times i actually fell over onto people (oh and yes the subway really is as crowded as they show on tv) but i made it to my hostel and fell asleep. my first day. wow. it is starting to hit me. approximately 180 days left. i think i will check out the cherry blossom festival today and will show you the pics. i have my first japanese photos if you click here.


naomi invited me for a nice birthday dinner and i blew out the tofu cake candles Posted by Hello

Hi Jamie,
I am so happy you reached Tokyo all safe and sound, i thought you weren't going until next month. I would have known if i had come to your party, sorry i didn't make it. I promise to make it to your welcome back party!!!

You aren't missing much in ontario, yesterday i drove past a SWAT team swarming a money mart on the Danforth. Also my cat has worms, either than that i still have no job and my life is just as aimless as the last time you met me. Tell Naomi i said hi.
Take care and happy belated birthday,
Sahar
