Tokyo Recap

So, our time in Japan is winding down here, but I have really had a good time. And the weird part is that I think it may have been one of the oddest experiences I have had yet in my travels. Sure, South America was definitely way different than anything I had ever experienced, but I could at least speak the language. I am seriously struggling here, not being able to talk to anyone, let alone read a damn sign! And, although I hate to admit it, I am one of those people that picks up the menu and points at a string of characters….lord help me that I am not eating something bad!
So, nobody in Tokyo wears colors….all black, and the occasional muted brown or blue. Of course, I Am strolling around in a baby blue jacket my sister got me, so i stand out like the American I am, but it was an interesting observation, at least!
The other odd thing here is that maybe 1 out of 10 of the people on the streets wear those surgical masks, and they have an entire shelf dedicated to them at the convenience stores (7-11s, nonetheless!) I cant quite figure out why they do it, unless they are that concerned about airborne diseases and illnesses. But it is kinda strange to see a beautiful woman walk by, all dressed up in a suit or a kimono, and then a surgical mask on her face. Strange!
So, we fly to Thailand in a few hours, and I am way excited. in a few hours, and I am way excited. Not that Tokyo isn:t awesome, but it is just another city and I am excited for the beaches and the sun…..not to mention that it is kinda cold here!! (Not as cold as Colorado, so Im told, but still!)
I will try to put some pictures up soon!!!

    Dude, Meghan is making out with your dogs:

    Extreme P7: you making out with them
    redmgn: ha yeah

    No word on jobs yet, but I rock on interviews. I hate hippies that believe in “Detoxing” their bodies. Fuck them. Oh yeah, those people wear masks because they are afraid of catching your cooties. Whenever possible lick your hand before you shake theirs, or rub your dandruff all over them when you bow.
