Day 5

We just arrived in Tokyo at 7:30am this morning. Wayy too early for me, or anyone sane for that matter. We got to our hostel at 10:30am but had to wait til 2pm to checkin. Total killer! The obvious solution of course was to kill time by facebooking lol.

As soon as we got upstairs (that's dragging 18.5kgs up 5 flights of stairs!!!) I think we just konked out from exhaustion. And that's pretty much how we spent our first day in Japan.. exciting, huh? haha but you've gotta love the ikea boxes we're sleeping in. They're actually pretty spacious. Basically, they're like bunkbeds but instead of being beds, they are these big box/cabin things with sliding doors that you sleep in. They even come with a built-in light, shelf and powerpoints hehe. Pretty awesome, or so I think anyway.

Now, is it just me or is there some unspoken rule in japan that all girls must speak in a cute voice?? Because no kidding, every person I've come across so far speaks in that cutesy jap voice. Nothing wrong with it, but it's abit odd when you think about it lols.

I think it's about time for me to start budgeting and sticking to it.. I think I spent $550 in 3 days while I was in KL. Don't know how I did that when everything's so cheap over there haha. If I keep going at that rate, I'm gonna be broke by the time I get back.. BUT in my defence, I now own a whole heap of cheap anime and accessories, woohoo!

Me and Mai also got fake nails put on for the very first time... yeah, let's just say I'm never doing that again. They look awesome but god, they're so impractical! You can't do anything with them on. Writing's hard, taking stuff out of your bag is hard, typing's hard, taking your contacts out is hard. Basically, doing ANYTHING is hard. I don't know how those girls do it. I just got so sick of it the day after that I just grabbed my nailclippers and chopped them down to normal sane sizes! Sigh. Never again.

Anyway time for me to eat. All I ate today was aeroplane bread and salad, and a packet of chips, and I'm starving!
