Made it into Tokyo just a couple hours earlier. Right as I stepped into the doorway of the hotel, the crackle of thunder could be heard.
Soo..first few hours in Japan have been interesting. Within two hours:
1) I saw a schoolgirl using glue stick to keep her socks up (by the look of it, she was re-applying the glue)
2) Saw a guy ride a bike with an umbrella, in the rain, talking on a cel phone.
3) Saw a guy peeing on the side of the street.
So far everything is A-OK, except for all the rain! Preventing me from really venturing forth for fear of getting drenched. (Though the front desk says it won't rain anymore...hmmm...)
Oh, yeah, and i experienced the sink ontop of the toilet thing that Penny's friend Wendy mentioned. Neat idea (It fills the tank via an auto faucet on top of the tank, under which you can wash your hands!)
