The Big Smoke... Really

...really big and really smokey. so much smog here.

so actually i'm staying with mum's cousin... i got confused there somewhere... who has the biggest television i have ever seen in somebodys home.


today i lunched with louis, which was really nice. he has been here for 5 months i guess, and hasnt had anyone up to visit him yet, so he's really excited.

last night was really sad saying goodbye to all my japanese friends who i may never see again. i cried quite a lot on the bus here, but managed to get a fair bit of sleep. the bus is like business class on an aeroplane. all single seats that lay really far back and have great footrests and everything. free tea and coffee and a toilet on board, and double layer curtains that even go across the front of the bus so its pitch black.

so my new (3rd???) cousin is going to take me for a wander around shibuya and harajuku... do some people watching.. maybe see some crazy otaku girls and boys in their costumes..

i guess i should do some research as to what else to do tomorrow.... i apparently dont much have much hope of getting a glimpse of fuji from here becasue of the smog... bit of a pity. maybe i will make the effort to get a bit closer and have a look...
