is that your knee?

hello!

So a very eventful day was had. I was going to blog about our adventure at the airport waiting to go to the game show - but ill spare you. Instead this blog will be about how im missing having free wifi no matter where I go at home. So far have not found wifi and im pretty surprised.

Onto other news, Marc and I are making progress on understanding what buses to take where. Well, we havent actually succesfully taken one yet, but im sure that is just around the corner. We decided against going to the game show today so that we could try to get our bearings and get ourselves a little more familiar with everything... We hope to get to the game show tomorrow and follow that up with heading into Tokyo tomorrow night to check into our hostel.

Been enjoying the experience so far, especially the yumminess that is the vending machine as well as the (dont know the name for it yet) but the rice that is wrapped in seaweed that has some sort of mini fish in it. That is then wrapped in celephane.

Last night was awesome.... we got into our hotel ok, and decided to take a walk down the street. Since neither of us speak nor read the language here we just enjoyed the sights (photos on their way). We found ourselves a very charming sushi place... only to find out once we were inside and trying to order that it was a korean restaurant. Marc took the liberty of ordering for us since no one there spoke english, we didnt speak or read korean and there was NO PICTURES on the menu. We think he ordered some sort of gizzard, but luckily another waitress overheard him ordering and took mercy on us. she handed us a one page barely english menu (had 4 instead of 65 items) on it and we decided on the sweet beef and potato pancake. After several beers and our food we were stuffed.

Well im off to head into Marcs little cubby and see what he is typing or uploading.

cya....
