Welcoming Home
Friday, December 01, 2006 @ 9:05 AM
I'm finally home... i have not slept in my own bed for 9 days.... i miss the comfort like crazy... oh well... i loved the trip to japan....
I got to go up to Mt. Fuji and it was freezing cold.... and i didn't wear my gloves so in the end my hands went numb...
But it was worth it... cause i got to touch snow with my own hands... and i made a few snow balls to throw at the wall.... and we did a pose... my sister and i, we make it seem like we were playing in the snow and having a snow ball fight...
ha... it was fun.. but this happened in the third last day of my trip.. the first few days we went shopping and stayed in various hotels... one of them, which was the one at Mt. Fuji, we had to sleep onn the floor and wear a kimono which i disliked...
cause you don't get to wear anything else on the inside either then your under garments... and when you sit crossed-legs, and you're not careful, people will be able to see your.. umm... yeah...
I miss my home badly... not to mention i hae to go to camp right after this... i'm training up to play the songs for SYF and my NCO camp is here... i'm gald i have a day's rest cause i'm beat...
You rarely get to rest... very day you sleep only like 5 to 7 hours of sleep and then you'll haveta go out and walk all day... but the driver of my tour group was so... erm... cool... he could drive 2++ hours without stopping!
He drove two hours then stop for everyone to get coffee and some light snacks... we bought lots of biscuits... there was a china town in Japan...
The first place i remember we visited in Japan was a Temple... with a big lantern... all the temples in japan was huge.... we visited about 3 or so temples... did you know the sun sets at 4pm? and that all shops close at 8 pm? only restuarants open till 12 midnight...
I love all the night views of Japan... there were alot of highways... oh well... i guess i'll update my blog later... after my NCO camp, kays? i'm tired now... i missed my compy....
