First Night Studying Abroad in Japan

Been up for 30 hours, last time I slept it was for 5 hours and boy oh boy I feel like I should feel awful. But I don’t so yay. That said I look awful and am currently typing this while in the bathroom on a “shyawa-toire.” I feel like tomorrow is when I’m going to feel it the most.

Anyways, Japan has been absolutely amazing. The moment we landed everyone was so kind. We took a train and I walked the district a bunch and not one person was obnoxious. Also there is no litter and tons of flower beds, small parks with tons of vegitation. And just a few minutes from Tokyo there are tooons of rice farms. Everything has some sort of sentence asking not litter or be wasteful and I’ve seen so many people go out of their way to recycle.

So far I’ve been speaking in broken Japanese with lots of “gomenasai”’s and every person I’ve spoken to has been extremely kind about it being supportive to either try to speak in English or motion and speak slower Japanese. The architecture is mostly large concrete pillars essentially but vary wildly depending where you are in Tokyo, regardless you can see cultural influences in everything. It’s really beautiful.

My first meal was from a Y’s mart ( essentially a grocery store ) and wow everything was so cheap so long as it wasn’t fruit or foreign vegetables. I got some amazing orange juice and inari for ~300¥. The Japanese absolutely love their food. I walked through several areas and 80% of the shops were resteraunts. They sold all sorts of food items and the quality was surprising everything looked so fresh!

I’ve also noticed that almost every Japanese worker seems to be very diligent and does their best with their job. At the airport all the police were very polite and easily approachable. Then again at the convenience stores I visted the workers wre all moving around politely and smiling when looked at as they loaded shelves and worked register. It was a strange change of pace from the standard American worker at grocery stores who kind of louches around and complains.

I’ll be resuming to dev pretty hard once I get back.

Roughing out my main screen for my game, fourth circle is going to be settings. Don’t know what I’ll stick as the icon for that. Prolly just the traditional cog. Welp, raise your glasses to ambition.
