So I spent a considerable amount of time and money to get to Japan.

And what am I doing? Hiding in my hotel room. Things have changed in 15 years (my hotel room, for example, has a desk in it and isn’t just the size of my bed) but I remember things don’t open until 10 or later. In any case, I’m not brave enough to get on the train during rush hour with all my luggage. I have my laptop bag, a carry-on-sized-bag for my clothes, and a carry-on-sized-bag for all the presents I brought. As any good Buddhahead knows (and my Korean friends as well) you have to bring a lot of gifts for all your friends and family. Maybe that’s why I shouldn’t have that many friends. I suppose, I don’t, really.

The bathroom of my hotel room is still the weird one-piece-molded-plastic thing, but the toilet has the bidet feature. I’m afraid of most of the water in Japan, so I’m not trying it.

  1. My shower is one of those one piece molded plastic things. They are awful.

    I wouldn’t be a big fan of how close the toilet is to the sink.

    How come you are afraid of the water? And would it really matter if you “bideted” with it?

  2. shut the fuck up and have fun you dumbass!! go eat some dango for me…MMMmmmmmm!!!
    wish i was there forcing you to go out to play 🙂

  3. Reminds me of the bathroom I had when I was living in New York. But much cleaner.

  4. I have lived in Tokyo for 11 years. The water is sake, don’t worry. Go out and enjoy yourself. And that bathroom is not so bad, it is bigger than the one we had in our first apartment in Tokyo. I am waiting to hear about all the fun you will have.
