Je suis au Japon

I`m in japan now

Life`s gonna be different here. For one thing, I have to get used to using this keyboard. Arrived yesterday evening and stayed at Toyoko inn.

Thursday Sep 2, I left early morning for 中正[zhongzeng] airport. I got there by 9:30, the checkin counter for Cathay Pacific opened at 10:00. I waited for half hour, then I checked in and paid the overweight of my baggage. The flight took off at 13:00. I was expectant and worried, I sat next to the window pretending to read something or watching some entertainment, but I couldn't pull my focus on anything. I took some pictures from the window after I enjoyed the meal served on flight.
We arrived at Narita Airport at 17:00 local time. I got off the plane and clamed my baggage then I walked to the lobby and bought some FRISK peppermint to sooth my throat and a calling card to reach the office. I made necessary call home and office from the lobby then I proceed downstairs to Narita Express. I bought a ticket at one booth and went in to platform 2. I waited for 20 minutes and the train arrived with NEX logo on each car. I climbed into car no. 7 and sat at the very back of the row next to a Japanese guy. His name is Hironasa Yamashita. We chatted for a while. He was just coming back from a business trip to the states. He's working for as a project manager for IT section in a mobile contents company. He showed me his laptop and all and how people usually got connected in Japan. He had a bunch of mobile phones in his bag, may be six or seven for different purposes. We talked about where we came from and what we did and we soon close our convoy as we reached Yokohama Eki. He offered to show me the way as it happens he's also going to 反町「tanmachi」 station. I followed him for the train transit from subway to chikatetsu. It was a long walk and I had a lot of stuff with me. It really killed all my muscles. I reached tanmachi with him at about 20:00 and　元倉さん　「motokurasan」　and 岸本さん「kishimotosan」 were waiting for me outside the gate. We walked ten minutes back to the office and put my stuff there then we soon got to an italian restaurant where we had calzone, spagheti, fish steak, and the first taste of Japanese beer. Ichiban desu!

From the restaurant, Kishimotosan showed me to Toyoko Inn in 阪東橋[bandoubashi]. It was another long walk. when we eventually reached Toyoko Inn, I was really dead beat and could no longer do anything. I took a quick shower and get a rest on the soft bed. I woke up early morning and followed my root back to the office. I always got lost but somehow I just reached the office. Good Lord. He has shown me helps and guides wherever I go.
