やっと到着...

Waiting for my flight at Heathrow T4
Well, it appears I arrived in one piece. It already feels weird to be typing in English since there's so much 日本語 everywhere and I haven't spoken a word of English since stepping off the plane....
I flew with Alitalia, who served me raw salmon and spinach and for that I love them. During the flight, I decided to watch 'Finding Nemo' in Japanese dub (and can I just say that Dory is even more hilarious in Japanese!). I missed the last bit cause I fell asleep.


Alitalia flight AZ784 to Tokyo Narita

*Gasp* ....the people who arrived before me weren't kidding; it's soooooo humid here. The heat is bearable but the humidity, ho boy....10月、早く来てね。

Today was a crazy rush and that's probably why I need a quick, quiet moment to myself. I've been on my feet literally all day, on and off trains, sorting my foreign person's registration and my health insurance. I couldn't have done all of this in one day without the help of my guide, Minami. I can't describe in words how brilliant she has been today. It seems she doesn't speak much English so having to babble in broken Japanese all day was probably good for me. She's off to China for a week from tomorrow so I'll have to fend for myself. That said, I have got Hiro's company all day and all night tomorrow. Perhaps he'll show me that Tokyo is liveable...

I haven't eaten anything apart from a 'nikuman' since breakfast so I might have to pop out and get something from the shop (and tomorrow's breakfast, which WILL include nattou as it's so cheap here!).

Right now, I hear movement in the kitchen which might mean I have flatmates at last. I'm off to investigate....

I will write again very soon as I'm sure more weird and wonderful happenings will..er..happen.

またね〜
