Well I'm at Narita airport again getting ready to board my transferring flight from Tokyo to Zurich and then on to paris. It's a 12 and a half hour flight but when I checked in they told me that their entertainment system wasn't working. But it's all good because I was going to sleep for most of it anyway and they gave me 1000 yen in compensation.

And yes, of course I did the mechanical bull, I think it was the first thing we did actually. But we did a golf thing, a tennis thing, a...

Today I just went in for English pronounciation class for the last time before I leave. It's now only 4 days, so I got photos with all the people that I wont see again, including the teacher. Today and last night was more about Eriko as she had two assignments due today for Japanese literature which she didn't start until last night at about 9pm. If she didn't finish one of them then she was going to fail the subject. So she ended up staying up all night and she...
