How are you guys?? I'm coming back soon on 26th June hee hee.

Currently I'm in Japan right now. It was quite an adventurous trip for the last few days. For the last few days in Seattle I have been rushing here and there to close bank account, pay bills, buy stuff and meet many friends every day. Then when I was finally bound for Japan, there was this volcano which erupted at somewhere in the pacific ocean and I had to land in Honolulu! Even though hawaii was always a place that I want to go, but going there in this kinda unexpected condition was not entertaining for me. I had to queue up with another 300 stranded passengers for everything from collecting food with coupons to checking in hotel. And I had to pull two big suitcases and two carry on bags. So when I finally got onto the the plane bound for Japan I was already very shagged. Yesterday was also a torture...Audrey and me were walking in the rain for one whole day carrying heavy bags, and had to bear with not showering to take an overnight bus to tokyo. The bus was very humid and the seats were narrow..so it was the most horrible sleep I've ever had. When we finally reached kyoto in the early morning after not much sleep, it was raining heavily and we had to walk under the rain lugging our bags to find the hostel, which was quite a tiring walk for us.

But, behind all these complaints, I'm still happy to be traveling in Japan, eating all the good food and understanding their interesting culture. Now we almost mastered the Japanese railway routes...even though it's very complicated.
