yo, so i touched down in the land of the rising sun like….2.32565 days ago or something. i’m in some kind of twilight zone here. shit is surreal. the amc flight f’en sucked. so cramped for 9.5 hours. waited in seatac for hmmmmmmmmm, 5 shitty hours before even boarding. then from yokota a 2.5 hour bus ride to yokosuka……..but shit, this place is awesome. 1 hour to tokyo by train. 20 min to yokohama (second largest city in japan). the junior officers on my ship (that i’ve met so far) are really cool – fuck! we went out last night TOUGH on my first night in the country. good food, lots of crazy asian booze, drunken train rides and drunken karaoke. man, can’t write strait…more later. peace in the far east
