Narita View



I get into Japan and everything is good. Plane ride was great because I sat next to this older Canadian that was quite friendly that had a similar horror about United. Anyways I get to Narita Airport I find my group and everything has been going smoothly since I got here. I've only taken a small amount of pictures and I'll upload them as soon as they become relevant to this wonderful story. I arrive at my hotel room at around maybe 9:00 PM Saturday Japan time.(everything I say time wise for now will be Japan time.) I meet my roommate that I will share my room with for the remainder of my training after that I live all by my lonesome. We talked a little about where we both came from, where will be teaching, why we came to Japan, and etc.
One of the small sad things about this trip is that this is the first the might dollar is smaller than the Japanese 100 yen which use to be the equivalent of $1.11. We discussed that because not many people came here as prepared as I was. One funny thing though about Japan is that most everything is smaller. For example, all the employees had to take a urine test. We didn't use a cup we had to pee into a tube including girls. Let's just say it was a very messy experience. The room itself is bigger than most Japanese Hotel rooms from what I hear but they are pretty small. See the above picture.
Alright let me tell you about one amazing thing about the hotel room. We have an awesome bathroom. In particular the toilet. The toilet is preheated so on cold nights the seat feels quite nice I think it actually helps me use the bathroom a lot quicker because I'm so comfortable. Next thing I tried which when I was younger I thought it was quite silly but it has a built in bidet. Bidets are awesome. For two reason they really clean the shit out of you pun intended and it doesn't feel like you're being raped by water which is why I was kind of scared when I first tried it. I like to say to everyone here is "When in Rome do as the Romans do." Well apparently the Japaese like to shoot nice warm water up their but so I think I should try it. I'm glad I did I use every time I use the number two. Well anyways I miss you all and don't worry Jordan I will tell you about the food later.

Huh, "raped by water". That is exactly what I thought of a bidet, but in such an eloquent way, lol. Thanks for relieving my fears!
