Oh! Tokyo I don't really like you :(

Lets begin the day with an earthquake well that's how I began mine. It was around 6 AM and my bed began to shake and the walls rattled. It woke me up and I thought to myself hmm I think that was an earthquake. It was not until I was at the bus stop where I heard others talking and remembered there had been a small earthquake. So I can check that off the box. Anyway, around 10 AM I started my journey to Tokyo with the goal of seeing Harajuku girls. It started off good just me and a million Japanesse. I got on the train and knew my first switch was at Yokohama. When I got off at Yokohama someone must have poured water on the Japanesse because there were milions of Japanesse going here and going there. The Japanesse may seem nice, but when it comes to train stations they are assholes, pushing and shoving. So needless to say, I pushed right back and made my way to Tokyo. I was doing well until Shibuya. I should have gotten off there I did not and chose to get off at Tokyo Station. I mean Tokyo Station you would think there would be a lot of shit there well there is not. Its like some sort of business district. By this time, it was pouring and I had no umbrella. I went into the 7-11, but the Japanesse call it 7 and eye holdings (I think that's funny) and got an umbrella. Again, I was on my way until I slipped on the slick sidewalk and skinned both keens. I sucked it up and realized I was in the middle of nowhere. So I chose to get in a cab and the cab driver told me I was very far away from the Harajuku district. So I a 30 yen ride later, I was in Harajuku. It is like Bourbon Street on the Saturday before Mardi Gras day. In fact, all of Tokyo is like that. Tokyo is a shitload of Japanesse. So I walked around looked at random things saw crazy Tokyo fashions ate at a restaurant where I pointed to something and got a onion and pork soup yum and walked back to the train. I managed to get back and missed America so much when I got back I had to go to Chilis. Well back to work tomorrow, I know the bus schedule. I plan to check out the gym and maybe eat somewhere different on base or out in town.
