Back in the J A P A N (It's not quite as melodic as USSR)

Well,
Here I am again, back in Japan. Back in Saitama. It feels very much like how I used to go back to college yearly, except this time I end up in a not so foreign foreign contry.  The flight over was actually very nice. It felt like it went rather quickly and we ended up landing about a half hour early. At the airport Jeff and I met up with Jiahe and Eddie and then Matt found us as we were about to exchange some money. After getting Matt his ticket on the Narita Express so he could go to his hotel and getting our tickets for the trip to Kyoto the next day, the rest of us set off to rent some phones and then make our way out here to Kita-Urawa. I ended up having to put Jeff and Jiahe's phones on my credit card but they will pay me back. Good thing I was here I guess otherwise they would have been out of luck. After that was taken care of we boarded the Keisei Skyliner, met up with Yamamoto-san at Nippori, and then continued on to Kita Urawa. Yamamoto-san seems nice, though I miss Terumi. After we got our room keys and aisatsu-ed the people here we each took a quick shower, and then got some ramen for dinner. After dinner I met up with Matt at his hotel and we headed over to Roppongi for some hookah. He wanted to sit in the back away from the loud music, which apparently is the VIP section back there though we didn't know it, and unfortunately the drink special they have was only on weekends. The bill was a lil pricey but not bad. We took some pictures of Tokyo Tower afterwards, then after a little walking around I directed him back to his hotel and I came back here. A long day with only a longer one tomorrow. I think I'll just stay up all night and unpack or I'm afraid I won't be up in time to make the train to Matt before the Shinkansen train. Though I don't know how this'll work since I was up all night before the flight and while I slept some on the flight it wasn't a long uninterupted one. Well we'll see.
