IN JAPAN!!! I’m sorry that I haven’t been keeping up with my adventure save for little wimpy notes for each day. Even though its been fun, writing about the ship is a little tedious. Also hard. There are a lot of things going on and I can’t remember everything. Ive also been kind of seasick for a couple days. Never threw up, I’m stubborn about throwing up unless its for a legitimate illness that will get it out of my system. But I felt gross and was unable to study. Seriously, going to school on a moving, sometimes rattling, tipping campus is really trippy. Well, lets see, last night I found out that my Meditation with Zen Buddhist Monks and my Karaoke with Yokohama University students were cancelled for today, so I’m now preparing to travel around independently with Nat and his fabulous roommate Wade. From Canada. Because of the previous stormy spell we had for a couple days, the boat had to slow down and they thought we’d be super late to Japan (in terms of hours, not days) so they cancelled the trips. However, apparently we booked it because we only arrived a couple hours late, about 930 (of course, its now 11:41 and my “sea” (hall – which is dubbed the Caribbean Sea) hasn’t been called yet. Nevertheless, it turns out that out of the three trips they weren’t able to reinstate, two of them were the one’s I’d signed up for. Dray. Oh well. Some goals I have:
Buy a Japanese umbrella because apparently I didn’t bring one?...
Hang out with a Monk, and with a Geisha, ideally at the same time…
Find something cool to collect from all the ports. Maybe a tapestry or scarves or cool symbolic charms.
Go to a hot spring.
Public bathhouse!
Eat a bunch of cute shit. (ALL THEIR FOOD IS SO CUTE, WTF.)
Karaoke Bar.
Meditate with a monk ON MY OWN, since the trip was cancelled. Not stopping ME.
Go to an ice bar. Maybe. It sounds cool, but may be pricey…
My stomach is churning, I’m suddenly very nervous and happily nauseous. How beautiful that getting off the ship has taken so long that by the time I’m dancing on Japanese soil it will be exactly time to eat!
