It's about 7pm Japan time and 4am Midwest US time. We've just arrived at Ryokan Katsutaro in Tokyo, safely and soundly. Finally. It was a long and exhausting journey, and I personally haven't slept in about 24 hours (and the previous night's sleep was only 4 hours), but I'm feeling strangely lucid and awake... for the moment. (I imagine I'll nonetheless uncontrollably lose consciousness in about five minutes here.)
Lots of interesting stories to tell about getting here... including one with Haven and I in the bustling madness of Tokyo station, staring into each other's eyes in complete shock, separated by the glass of the train doors, the train speeding away with me inside of it, and her left behind on the platform with no directions and no idea where to go...
But I'll save the details for another day. Time to get some sleep.
