JAPAN!!!!!!!

I GUESS I'LL MAKE THE BEST OF THIS COMPUTER NOT HAVING CAPS CONTROL, JAPAN IS PRETTY EXCITING. ITS SUMMER VACATION TIME AND MY TRIP IS TAKING ME TO JAPAN AND CHINA.

JAPAN IS AWESOME. EVERYTHING HERE IS JUST SO COOL. AND EXPENSIVE. WAAAY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN I EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. SO FAR I'VE BEEN TO FUKUOKA TO EAT SOME RAMEN. YOU FILL OUT THIS ORDER FORM FOR EXACTLY HOW YOU WANT IT. HOW MUCH OIL, GARLIC, THE TENDERNESS OF THE NOODLES. IT WAS GREAT. AND YOU EAT IT IN THIS LITTLE BOOTH. VERY COOL EXPERIENCE.

THEN CAME HIROSHIMA. IT WAS AN AMAZING CITY. THE MUSEUMS AND MONUMENTS WERE SAD BUT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I'M GLAD I SAW. THE A-BOMB DOME WITH ITS BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES WAS ALMOST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. I SAW THE FLOATING TORII GATE AT MYAJIMA AND SOME PAGODAS LATER THAT DAY. I ATE A LOT OF OKONOMIYAKI. ITS THIS PANCAKE MADE WITH NOODLES, EGG, BACON, BEAN SPROUTS, AND GREEN ONION. IT WOULD BE THE BEST HUNGOVER FOOD EVER.

TODAY I CAME TO OSAKA. AT FIRST I WAS PISSED OFF BECAUSE NOTHING WAS LABLED CORRECTLY AND I ENDED UP WALKING AROUND FOR AN HOUR TRYING TO FIND MY WAY. AT LAST I FOUND THE UMEDA SKY BUILDING AND TOOK A CRAZY ESCALATOR RIDE TO THE TOP. THEN I POKED AROUND OSAKA CASTLE FOR A BIT. TONIGHT I'M STAYING IN A CAPSULE HOTEL. ITS REALLY COOL BUT YOU HAVE TO USE THE PUBLIC BATHS TO GET CLEAN. SO MUCH FOR KEEPING MY RECORD OF NEVER USING ONE HAHA. THE HOTEL IS IN AN AREA CALLED AMERICA VILLAGE. ITS JUST A TRENDY SHOPPING AND BAR DISTRICT. SOMEBODY I MET WHILE FINDING MY HOTEL SAID THAT ALL THE JAPANESE HERE THINK THEY'RE GANGSTER RAPPERS. DINNER TONIGHT WAS AT AN AUTOMATED SUSHI PLACE. THE PLATES COME AROUND ON A CONVEYOR BELT AND YOU JUST PICK THEM AND THE ATTENDANTS ADD UP THE COST BY THE COLOR OF THE PLATES. IT WAS SO GOOD. RIGHT NOW I'M AT A 'MEN'S RELAXATION ZONE' AKA THE ONLY PLACE I COULD FIND INTERNET. ITS KIND OF STRANGE. SCRATCH THAT, VERY STRANGE. YOU GO IN TO HAVE SOME...ALONE TIME. AND THE FRONT DESK HAS MANY PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR...ALONE TIME. NO THANKS, I'LL JUST STICK TO THE BASIC ROOM WITH A COMPUTER SO I CAN BOOK MY HOSTELS.

TOMORROW I'M OFF TO KYOTO, THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF JAPAN.
