It's quiet here ... really.
When I arrived at Narita airport and left the plane the sound disappeared. There is the occasional "bling pling" of their version of elevator music but that's it. It might be because I've spent the last month in a loud country but day time Tokyo is very quite for a big city and sometimes void of sound altogether if you are nowhere near traffic.
At the moment nature is making up for the lack of sound though as there is a typhoon on. Woo!
I'm staying at a very homey little hostel where I keep adding new bumps to my head because of the low entry ways. It's really cheap and they are so nice; they had a girl switch bed with me because hers was the only one that was long enough for me in the girl's dorm (all the 2 meter ones are in the men's dorm heh)
The japanese have a real thing about harmony and positive things so a lot of things are "Happy": "Happy Shoes", "Happy Net", "Happy Food", "Happy Sick" (no shit, I saw that lasts one).
Their love of vending maschines is awesome. My inner clock is still a little messed up and I was really hungry in the middle of the night, and normally you have to settle for junk at that time of the day; but not in Tokyo! I got a meal, a real meal, from a vending maschine down the road! Yeah baby!
I got freaked out when a toilet spoke to me though o_O That I could do without.
I'm going down the coast on friday and saving my Tokyo experience for last. I'm trying to couchsurf my way through 50% of my time here starting out with a guy in Shizouka who is a hardcore couchsurfer and host. I'll have 4 days at his house along with 3 others and we're going to a tea ceremony and an onsen, to Mt. Fuji and wine tasting which is close to his home. Later in the month I'll go along with a larger arrangement he has set up for travellers that involves Halloween in Osaka ^^
Anyway, I'm going to pick up my ticket for the Ghibli museum now. See ya later!
