Hey peeps,
As of yesterday, I am out of the dorms. I sent all my boxes home. I jumped on the bullet train, headed to Kyoto, and met up with friends. All was dandy...until this morn. I lost my train card case that had not only my train card, also photobooth photos (known as Purikura), some business cards, and my Waseda ID card sleeve (we weren't allowed to keep our IDs...). So, under the exhaustion accumulated from that busy week last week and the frustration and sadness of losing my train card case, I just curled up, cried, then slept some. So today didn't start off well at all, especially since I missed my last opportunity to go to Osaka Castle for awhile. Two attempts, two misses. Osaka Castle, You will be that much more special to me~!
Anyhoo, the day was better and much more relaxed after I woke up. My friends and I chilled in the hotel room, then took a stroll through Kyoto areas I had been in April. During that stroll, we stopped and got dinner. The restaurant was an omurice restaurant. Delicious~! Omurice is a 'borrowed' term for "Omelet Rice", which is a serving of rice tucked under a blanket of Japanese omelet. Traditional omurice is served with 'ketchup rice', which, as you may be able to guess, is rice that is dressed with a ketchup-based sauce. Omurice remains one of my favorite Japanese dishes that are based on Western cooking. I just love it~!
Oh~! And the hotel is wi-fi, which means I am no longer tethered to an internet cable (which is what I had in my dorm room)!!! It's nice to be able to pick up my laptop and relocate without doing a dance around my internet cable!
Anyways, my friends and I travel back to Tokyo tomorrow. Since we may arrive in the early evening, I'm going to try finish up some moving business, such as canceling my cell and health insurance. y during that, I may free up my last full day in Japan.
After having traveled so much in Japan, this move back home just feels like a trip. That being said, I don't know how I will react to not being able to jump on a train and head to Tokyo...All will be revealed in time.
With that thought, I will close this blog post.
Until then, later peeps!
