noodle quest 2006

unbelievable. we are finally here. the flight was so long it is excruciating to even revisit as a memory although only japanese flight attendents could somehow be kind and gracious enough to make the cramped steerage section bearable. 14 hours to tokyo in a full flight and then 6 hours to hanoi with some space to stretch and sleep. it was really cool to be back in japan for a few hours- the japanese that setsko taught me definitely came back and came in use when it was time to buy some rice ball snacks. a man named dong picked us up from the airport. interestingly, dong is also the currency here… maybe we heard him wrong. the guy who checked us in to our “hotel” is named courage…. we think. so far jessie is jessica and i am momissa. interesting developments abound. our hotel is pretty basic- we think it is definitely fine for tonight but we will explore some more options tomorrow. the internet is free here and that is good. jess just went upstairs to figure out how to lock our door with some guy in little white booty shorts and she has been gone for a while… hmmmm i am going to go look into that. oh! here she is.
