2.5 days and counting…tear.
Well I just deleted the post I just wrote by accident, the post I had spent a half hour writing…and it’s 2:11 in the morning and i’m tired, but I’ll try and recap again…even though this really blows.
Alright so I was saying how I can’t believe how fast everything has gone by. Living here is very surreal as it doesn’t quite feel like real life. It’s like living in a dream. It’s quite strange and you just won’t understand fully until you come here yourself. I’ll try my best to explain and make you feel as though you’ve been here though. Or at least help you relive my adventures.
So anyhow I’ve been having a really amazing week, well except for my camara having technical difficulties on the day of our show. We had our final show last friday, and we all went out again for a last big feast and karaoke. It’s been great for us all finally having the time to relax and hang out and just have fun in Tokyo, without stress and deadlines and working all night long with no sleep.
So yeah my camera broke, got confused, went crazy, who knows. But it took a few pictures when I didn’t want it to, didn’t take pictures when I tried to…the lens won’t come out and even when the camera is off the power light is on. So I had to get another camera naturally. It would have been nice to have done some research beforehand, but i didn’t have my computer all weekend, as it was locked up at school, and so i had matt with me who helped give suggestions and i ended up getting this sanyo camera, which has been great. The best part is the response time. It’s super quick. It’s not the best lens, but it’s got a beautiful screen on the back, it’s super compact and it’s made in japan, so it should last. But I broke my rule and got a camera that does’t take double A batteries and of course the batteries ran out the other day…so I’ll need to get a backup sometime soon.
All right so about the last couple days and such.
It’s really amazing how close you can get to a group of people in just 6 weeks. Perhaps it’s the fact that we’re all in this new place that helps bring us together also, but it’s been great fun getting to know everyone on this trip. We’re all quite unique, but we now have this experience which we will share forever. I’m going to miss everyone alot…it’s going to be weird in 2 days.
So I’ve been staying up all night the past 2 days. We had a final gettogether last night to say farewell to those leaving today…which was most of the group. Me and Mia after final hugs to everyone, caught the first train at 5:09 am out of jiugouka. she headed for home and I headed for the skiji fish market. It was probably not that great me being so tired there…as there are workers riding these crazy go-kart, truck thingies…and they go tearing around everywhere, yet no one crashes? it’s amazing….their reflexes are almost perfect….must be the video games or something. Anyway the fish market was great…there was fish and squid and shrimp and crab and squish everywhere. Huge tuna being cut up, things crawling and swimming and squirting and so many colors and textures. It was great. The pictures don’t do it justice. And it was endless, just rows and row and columns and columns of fish and squish and etc.
So now I’m off to studio ghibli again tomorrow. I can’t wait to see those exhibits again. It made me tear the first time i saw it.
This entry just isn’t as good as the one that was deleted, but i’m exhausted now, so it’ll have to do…i’m going to try and upload pics before i sleep too.
well i guess i’ll be seeing you all very shortly.
sayonara.
