Carlos, this one's for you!

Man, it was hard for me to adjust to the fact that I was in Tokyo, again!

Our apartment was tight!  AC, wood floors, bidet in the toilet.  I’ve come to learn that the Japanese are obsessive with cleanliness…and I don’t mind one bit.  Their toilets are in separate rooms from their washrooms.  The toilet had a bidet and a faucet on top of it.  Whenever you flushed, the water would flow through the faucet and then the toilet, I guess so that you could get a chance to rinse your hands.

The showers are a little different as well, but I had heard of them before.  They believe in the power of taking baths, but since they also believe in cleanliness, their showers are built right next to the tub so that you can wash yourself and then get in the tub.

Man, the view of the city was amazing!  The balcony was tight!

I think we showered and then just walked around.  We got lost a little bit.  Tokyo doesn’t have a grid like pattern to their streets so it can be a little confusing, still, there’s no better way to get to know a city than by wandering around it.

I felt like a giant.  Japanese people are much smaller than Americans on average.  Like somebody the size of Jack Black would be considered heavyweight even though I don’t think he breaks 200 pounds.  Started feeling a little self conscious!  I felt tall but gruesome, lol!

We decided to just take the “L” for the night and not try to do something.  We just went to McDonalds.  I got a double cheeseburger and it was on some gourmet type shit. The burgers were actually bigger than the buns.  I didn’t expect it to be like the ones in the states but this was nice.

I just did a little unpacking and that was it.
