August 10, 2005Tokyo
Jason and I are in Tokyo! A city we have both been very eager to see. We left Korea via ferry from the southern port city of Pusan. I had a wonderful time visiting my aunts. I'll write more on this later, probably. I write this from one of the strangest internet cafes I have been in. I walked downstairs and picked out an 'internet plan'. My plan is for one hour, which costs 315 yen, or about $3. This includes free drinks. I was given a room number and walked around a dark labryinth of tiny cubes. I can barely see the keyboard. Certainly, privacy is assured here. The walls have built-in bookshelves lit with pink neon, filled with thick comic books. My cube has a computer, a TV/DVD player and a little safe (must be for long-term residents!). There's also a small mirror hanging on the wall and a hanger (again, for those long-term internet types -- one of the plans was 'all night plan'). Unfortunately, our hotel is pretty crummy. Cost $100 a night, too. Perhaps we'll move somewhere else. Our plan for tomorrow is to buy our tickets home! So, we'll be back in 4 days if all goes to plan. Comments
Just wishing both of you a safe trip back home. Now you'll have to consider writing a book on your world-wide venture! Posted by: Kraston & Alice on August 10, 2005 10:58 AMHave a safe trip home! I cannot believe it has already been a year since you departed on this trip. Time flies and what an adventure you two have been on! Posted by: Kraston & Suzanne on August 11, 2005 07:34 AMI bet Japan has been, hands down, the most expensive place you've visited so far. Hope you guys aren't too broke. Can't wait you see you again, be safe. Posted by: Carol on August 11, 2005 07:50 AMHey, be safe, and hope to see you again soon! -- James Posted by: James Hu on August 11, 2005 11:33 AM |
