Read about my trip, experience it vicariously, feel the empty thrill, realize that you're still just sitting at home in front of your computer, envy me, and then I'll post something about traveler's diarrhea or some similar unpleasantness and you'll suddenly be glad to be home in the developed world.

I would put a travel related quote here, but I've referenced a Death Cab song in the title, there's an outdated, weathered map as the backdrop, and the main font is Courier. I don't need a cheesy quote here as well.

Japan 2

So I wrote a very long, very thoughtful entry, and the f***ing computer deleted it. I really don't want to rewrite it, so basically here's how my day went down: woke up at 5, breakfast at 7, nap, false starts going to Shibuya, lunch, met Japanese dude named Ken who gave me helpful advice, went to Shibuya, saw Meiji shrine, was impressed, saw shops, was impressed, felt conspicuously Western, wore socks and sandals, bought umbrella, got wrong drink at world's largest Starbucks, wandered confusedly in womenswear mall, was conspicuously Western, saw Tower Records and was happy, got slightly lost, was overwhelmed, went to Shinjuku, looked for Tokyo Metropolitan Gov't building, didn't find it, was conspicuously Western, had squid and hot sake for dinner, found building, found Tokyo Hobo Repository, saw pleasant view, took Yurikamome Line and saw Tokyo Bay, was impressed at scale of city, returned to hostel, did not once mess up in transit, talked with guests, wrote blog entry, was peeved, took pictures, went to bed. Nicely warmed up, feel a little more ready for Bangkok tomorrow. Love you all, especially, right now, Jen Fraser. LYB more, dollface, LYB more.

    Dude that sounds so awesome, Im ridiculously jealous, and i would have loved to read that in long form.
    p.s.
    Yo word of advice about the blogin if I may, always type out your entries in a word program then paste it in after, never do it all in browser. Browsers crash, freeze, or youre writing and youre all like I wonder what the weather in Osaka is like and navigate away forgetting to open a new tab.
