Answering questions

I have some extra time today, so I thought I'd belatedly answer some questions that have been posted so far...

1. Were there channels on the plane that just played anime all day?
Unfortunately, no...There were specific movies or tv shows that you could watch, but the choice was not that great.

2. How long was the flight?
Approx. 14 hours. I slept most of the way, though, so it wasn't so bad :)

3. How's the view from the balcony (of your room)?
Not that exciting unfortunately. My room faces directly at a wall (which has a window of the boy's public bathroom--barely anyone uses it though). I guess that's good in a way. I don't have to worry about people peeking in to my room as I change. If you actually step out onto the balcony, you can see the entryway to come into the building and the street out in front of the dorm.

4. What is a bidet?
Ummm it's like a sink used to clean yourself. They have them in Europe a lot separate from the toilet. I suppose they're useful especially if you come back to the beach covered in sand, but I don't know if people actually do use them...

5. Does Shibuya 109 have windows?
I don't think so. Just clothes, clothes, food, acessories, and more clothes. The famous Shibuya 109 is all for girls, but there is a Shibuya 109 mens close by as well.

6. Is the gyoza in Japan the same as the United States?
Well, I'm no gourmet taster but I think they're pretty much the same. Japanese gyoza is usually fried, but I prefer the boiled type. It has a lighter and smushier taste.

7. What happens when the light changes at the Shibuya cross roads?
After everyone crosses, the streets are filled with passing cars. It's like every regular street--just lots of people wanting to cross at a time.

Finally, I wanted to thank everyone who encourages me and pushes me forward! It really means a lot!

I made my own lunches all this week♪ I bought a lunch box at the 100yen store and have been making salads. This one is cabbage, cucumbers, pepper, and green onions. So that it doesn't get soggy, I used the salad dressing available free in the cafeteria :)

What I've been missing lately, is hugs...I often don't think about it, but when I'm so close to another human being especially on the train, I can't help but want to hug someone. Maybe I'm weird...Well, since there's no one to hug here, I splurged and bought a friend--Pooh-san!

Hugging him makes me feel so fluffy and warm inside~
