Right now it’s 2PM in Osaka and I’ve been up since 7AM yesterday. It’s all a part of trying to limit my jet lag and sometimes it works. Usually I’m a zombie by this time at night (it’s 9PM here at home). Got up in Tokyo, ate a morning set and did some shopping in Shinjuku before my sister and I took the Narita Express for the airport. Narita Airport is actually kind of fun as long as you don’t make the mistake I did a few years back and go through the security gate too quickly. A CD store, a Uniqlo, a selection of restaurants, a few gift shops, and there’s even a gift shop that has a selection of Kit Kat flavors that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Kind of a fun sendoff from Japan.

Tokyo was fun and aggravating at the same time. Loud at night with sirens and trucks and the air didn’t need cigarette smoke to make it dirty.
