A perfect day!!!
Before I begin I want to express my concerns about the cold. As you know, I absolutely hate the cold. I mean I cannot function in it and it is very cold here. The worst part when I ask people they say the cold has just begun and it will get much colder than this. They told me I will need a coat that is made of down that covers my ass, gloves, hat, scarf, layers of clothes, and some winter boots. So my 20minute walk to work each way and my apt that is tepee should be great extras to my Japanese experience. Anyway, yesterday was a perfect day. I got to sleep in, which was good because I stayed up to late watching Gossip Girl, wonderful/educational show, got dressed, and as I was finsihing Eko called and we decided what time to meet at the train station. We met at the train station got off in Yokohama, and I even helped out two people that did not know where they were going. My friends picked us up and started the drive which was like an hour to Tokyo Disney Sea. They suggested we eat before going and decided to go to a local mall near Disney. We ate at a Hawaiian burger place which was delicious and were off to Disney. When we got to Disney Sea, it was around 3 PM, cold, and since it was a Tuesday not crowded. Disney Sea is like a combo of International Land, Epcot, and MGM all rolled into one. They have different lands and the rides were fun, but I found a lot tamer than than the rides in America. We walked through each land, watched a water show, and ended the evening by riding the Tower of Terror. The souvenirs were way to expensive so I got some postcards which I will mail out today. It was a nice day, everyone got along, no tantrums, and very relaxing considering we were at Disney. So now I am back at work with no exciting plans for the day. I am going to the gym and maybe eat Subway. Tomorrow, I have my English class and planning to got to Mt. Fuji on Saturday. I heart Tokyo Disney Sea!!!!

Serious advice from a Swede: buy a Finnish winter coat, they are used to dealing with the cold and know how to handle it!! I bought a fashion-stylee down coat (German, I figured Germans are some serious folks), but unfortunately I am so cold in it that I cry. And no, the serious chill hasn't gotten here yet neither. So, go Finnish!!! (Or maybe Japanese but I imagine all their clothes are doll-size, so why even bother. True or false?!)

Yes, if you weigh over a 100 pounds and over 5'2 you will have serious problems here. I feel sad for the fatter Japanese, but I am told they are not Japanese, but Korean. I will look into the coat because I wanted to cry walking to the bus stop.
