Trip To Japan 5/5/10 night

So a few hours ago we finally made it into japan. Going over everything was pretty cool. there were LOTS of rice patties.


We went into the airport and our travel guide met us there. her name is koko and she is very very nice. I conversed with her in japanese as well! It was cool! and it turns out that i dont have a very big accent when i speak it either.(YES! ive worked hard for that).

We drove to the hotel (about an 45 minutes away). we passed the disney land resort









we were driving pretty fast so i had to snap the camera quickly.

Journal entry for the night

Right now im looking out my window, watching the lit-up tokyo tower. It looks like the eifel tower but lit with red and yellow colors. The city light just glimmer in the tokyo night sky and its simply beautiful. My butt is still sore from sitting in that dang air plane chair for 12 hours(yea, sorry to ruin that good moment i had goin on) here the tower!! ^_^

THE TOILETS

OMG! THE TOILETS ARE SO COOL! ive seen them through the internet but not in real life. It has buttons that squirt your butt and everything!! it dries it too! So if your in a nice place in japan and they have no toilet paper in there, have no fear! SUPER TOILET IS HERE! (it can spray you with a sigle water jet or multi :D )






Outside my window when it was still kinda light outside. you can see downtown tokyo.

This plane is HUGE It has like..3 sections from left to right! Siiiigh we're in row 40. hopefully the plane doesnt break in half in the middle of the sea like on 'Lost' (not that i watch that anymore because i don't)

OMG! Theres TV's on the back of the plane chairs! You can watch all kinds of things. but its all recorded not cable ofcourse.

While i was still inside the airport, I was sitting behind some koreans and actually understould some of the small things they were saying! :D but n-e-way, im going to go listen to some music so ttyl

-----------------------------

98 songs on my MP3 and 3 1/2 hours of hanna montana later -_- :

Ugh im so bored.

Right now im right over the ocean. Most of it is dark blue, but right across from that are a few small islands and surrounding them is the most light blue you've ever seen and it just fades into a darker and darker blue. It's so BEAUTIFUL. Heres the picture. you cant really see it that well but its there.


I'm looking at the virtual map on the back of the persons chair infront of me and i can read the Japanese characters for tokyo(yay) we're so close!!

We've passed the Berring sea and are headed towards the international date line. I'm pretty sure I've lost 15% percent of my hearing because my MP3 is nearly full blown and i cant even hear it as well as i could before the plane took off -_- i guess my ears are really stopped up.

東京へ!

heres somemore pictures. this one was taken when we were flying over Canada and Alaska


pretty isnt it?

OMG IM GOING TO JAPAN IN 2 WEEKS!!!

So today was an awesome day. i got invited to a school ceremony and when i arrived the principal told me to follow him and this girl. we went around a few corners and we arrived at this red carpet. i tried to go around it but as soon as i did they were like "no no no, you must walk on the red carpet". so i start walking while completely clueless of whats happening. at the end, i arrive at this gym. theres a TON of kids sitting down. they tell me to take a seat as well. i sit down and they do this entire pod cast about japan and all the things to see there! afterwards they bring a microphone out and tell me to come up. a teacher stands next to me and is like "do you know why your here?" i look at her and reply "no". then she tells me to look out at the crowd and everyone held up white and red papers, once theyre all up, i can see that together it makes the japan flag!! then the lady next to me hands me this pink slip and says "this school has raised over $5,000 and we'd like to present you and your family with a trip to japan" and im like... *shock* ......OMG THANKYOU!! and then everyone starts clapping!they ask my dad to come up and say a few things and he just talks about my story and how i've wanted to go to japan since i was little (10 to be exact)and then i go to my seat and sit down and see all of my friends and family at the entrance i came through. my face was still like *shock* then i found out that they knew it was all going to happen. they knew it was going to happen every since it got planned (which was supposedly a year ago)!!! *shock*

After the whole ceremony was over some of the kids left and then some of the kids stayed and sat down on the ground. the teachers pulled a chair up in front of them, and told me to sit. the next thing i know, theyre handing out all of these gift and tell me that its for me. i open them and its aaaaaaalllll this SUPER cool stuff!!!! cute things too :D
after that. i said hi to everyone and thank all of the teachers and students for doing this, and then me, some of the students and my little brother start playing basketball. i had TONS of fun. this was one of the best days EVER.

so yup. im going to japan! maybe i'll see dbsk while im there. I'd scream if i saw them all.(dbsk is a asian boy band) lol. but i will keep you guys posted and put up pics. LUV YOU BLOGSPOT!
