So I awoke, without a hangover
I have no idea how
I quickly tidied my room and did my last bit of packing, then checked on my travelling companions
Oh dear.
Sam-san was slumped in a chair, his room smelling rather strongly of his vomit from the night before
Tom-san was frantically packing, his room smelling rather strongly of his vomit from the night before
It turned out that Tomoko (student, not anaesthetist) had come round to see Tom-san while I was cleaning and packing, he apparently awoke naked, sweating, shaking and covered in chunder.
Sexy.
All Sam-san & Tom-san could do for the next few days was talk about her shorts
And bum underneath them
Feel rather hurt I didn't get summoned for a gander.
After everyone had packed, Takemi rocked up and sent us on our way in the taxi.
I played the role of parent as my companions almost chundered every time the taxi went over a small bump in the road.
Oh yeah, Tom-san didn't have any clean pants so was wearing swimshorts.
We got to the airport without a hitch, and 2 of us got through passport control with ease.
Tom-san decided to deny that he was carrying a lighter in his suitcase, so you can imagine the inspector's surprise when a lighter-shaped object showed up on X-Ray
Cue a confusing exchange in broken Engligh and Japanese
Thankfully we all made it through in the end.
After getting Tom-san a drink as he couldn't stand, we got on the plane to Tokyo:
They felt worse than they look.
After landing and navigating Tokyo's vast underground system, we finally made it to our dormitory
We're living in Sendagi (千駄木) for those of you who are interested:
That map only shows about half of the routes available
But we made it
Yay!
Upon arrival, we met Gorai-san who showed us our rooms and explained the air conditioner for a good half hour.
We also met Phoebe & Jill, other students living in the dormitory, they translated Gorai-san for us, which was pretty helpful.
Being completely knackered, and with my companions hanging like proverbial horses, we had to find some food and get some sleep
First thing's first - fried chicken skin, sold at a little stall on the street corner
It was one of the best things I have ever tasted.
We settled on a pasta place, and it was surprisingly really nice *smiley face*
After a cheeky trip to the 7-eleven for snickers and other supplies, it was time for bed.
In the morning: exploring Tokyo (東京)!
