Life in Japan

I arrived in Tokyo and immediately got lost. Also lost my card in a machine, but got it out with help from a sweet Japanese woman, who helped me with trains. But the last stop got me only so close to the hostel. I wandered looking for a 7/11, which I found after 2 hours. I finally got to the hostel and exhaustedly passed out. The next day was soooo hot, felt like 45°C. I then told people at home they have no right to complain when it only feels like 30°C. I have been meeting lots of people, got to see my best friend Yasuki...last night met a cute guy and we only know maybe 20% we speak -- Takuji. But he was very sweet, held my hand and walked me back from the hostel they are at to ours. We both work at a hostel for free stay. I plan to go to Taiwan for work, hopefully works. I really hope me and Yaku-san work out. The bars here are awesome, you can buy liquor in all corner stores, karaoke is done in a private room and bikes are left unlocked. I love Japan.
