9 Weeks till the land of the rising sun...

Okay so I'm starting to freak out. I pulled up my computer calender and starting counting down to my beautiful Japan trip with Miss A. This is our plan so far:

- We will take the plane at 6am.
- ...

So... it isn't exactly a plan.

We have only NINE whole weeks to plan this trip, never noticed how fast time flies. Going to see the girls this weekend so hopefully Miss B can give me her Japan Guide Book. This will be the first time Miss A and I have ever been out of the country without adult supervision. It will be fun, it will be scary... but hell, it will be full of life experiences!

Since starting this full time job, I realised that I have regrettably neglected my important friends. I don't mean to do this... okay well I am in control of my own decisions so ultimately it IS my fault. It's just that I get so tired from counting down the hours of work and when I'm finally out of there, I just want to uncoil and relax at home.

So I've decided to pull my finger outta my butt and meet my friends! Got a dinner to celebrate...well celebrate isn't the word, more like good-wishing Miss R with a thigh-enlarging buffet dinner then off to an Asian club to dance off the buffet. The very idea of alcohol as a form of carbohydrate is so foreign to me, so in Yvonneland, I am burning off buffet fat.

Tell me I'm in denial, and I'll tell you to stuff off.

So I decided to stop procrastination and get straight to it. I websurfed through a couple of Japan Rail Pass sites and something hit me, it's going to cost me $600 for a 2 week railpass. *mental headslap* Then the memory of my excitment a few months ago when I purchased Japan airtickets at $500 each flowed back and in summary, travelling to/around Japan aint gonna be cheap.

These Shinkansen better be top-notch quality. Melbourne's shit public transport system is almost worth the $10 I pay, so if I'm paying roughly $42 a day to take the train in Japan, it better be royalty-quality. Many many eons ago when I was in highschool, I did take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to somewhere far which I can't recall, and it was clean. What I loved most about it was the food trolley being carted up-and-down the aisle, being the glutten I am, I managed to dig up cash everytime she came past.

This trip isn't going to be cheap, i'll bet.

Okay okay, I'll stop facebooking, twittering and blogging at work, and actually do some work.
