Hey guys,
I have arrived safely in Tokyo. Flight was no problem, I go into travel mode pretty easily and can just zone out and read/movie/music/all-three-at-once
Here's a picture of me just before leaving, with the entirety of my wordly possessions packed into four bags. Photo cred by the way goes to my lovely mother, who I expect to be a frequent commenter on this blog! (although for some reason, she always posts using the pseudonym "Irene Tanabe". I don't know why she doesn't just use her real name, "Mom"). As someone who managed to hang out juuust this side of compulsive hoarder, putting all of my things into storage and just taking those four bags was very difficult but also kinda fun--a perverse sense of excitement, the thrill of the forbidden

| Items in my possession not in picture: One(1) camera, one(1) camera case |
As I said above, flight was no problem. I even got an exit row aisle seat, for free! Legroom for daaaays, that was amazing. Of course, upon arrival I had to navigate bus and train with all of those bags, and since it was like 6pm that was . . . awkward. I felt really bad taking up like a square meter of space on a rush-hour train. But hey, gaijin here, clearly I don't know better
The only hard part of the entire trip? Lugging my entire bodyweight worth of stuff (yes, I brought my castiron skillet, no I don't regret that in the least. I love that pan) the mile from the train station to the hostel. Not gonna lie, my arms are still sore from that
But anyways, here I am, safe and sound in Tokyo. Had a great night last night, and I'm ready to attack the day today! By which I mean I'm gonna go get some breakfast
Later!

Inaugural Post
Hi everybody,
Welcome to my blog. With luck, I should be pretty decent about updating this once or twice a week. If nothing else, it's fun for me to be able to look back at everything I've done. I'm hoping this will be a nice little collection of my experiences, things I learn, and in general all of the cool things I plan to encounter as I embark on this adventure. Also, pictures of food. Lots of pictures of food
Expect long sentences, made even longer with the use of extraneous parenthetical statements (I think they're fun, ok? Plus this is pretty much how I talk in real life, I know, try to keep up) and archaic punctuation marks; also every post will be edited multiple times as I decide, sometimes weeks or even months after the fact, that I don't like how that one sentence was phrased and I need to rewrite it. There will be pictures, but not of everything because I am terrible at remembering to bring my camera along and terrible at remembering to use it even when I do have it. There will be random musings, strange observations, song lyrics or quotes that I don't expect everyone to recognize, and long drawn-out explanations of very pedestrian experiences that I thought were kinda fun/funny so you guys will be stuck reading about them. There will be sprinklings of profanity, because I type like I speak. There will be Oxford commas (which are very important because one of my common tools for making my sentences unnecessarily long is to have long lists of phrases, and it's hard to parse those properly unless you know to expect an Oxford comma), but there will not be periods to end paragraphs
(If you have a problem with the periods thing, you and Mr. Duxbury, my twelfth-grade English teacher, can start a club. Dux, I have no idea why you would be reading this, but if you are I regret to inform you that your unsubtle efforts to mark a period at the end of every single paragraph in every single essay I turned in for an entire year were sadly ineffective)
I've allowed commenting by anyone, even those without a blogger account (although it's the same as a Google account, so you all probably have one anyways). Feel free to add comments, questions, requests, praise and adoration. Try and keep profanity and debauchery to a minimum but I'm not asking you to be someone your'e not
Anyways, this whole post will probably get moved over to a "description" section once I get around to formatting this thing. But in the meantime, welcome everybody, I look forward to having you along on my adventure
Cheers!
