Windy in Yokohama


I survived the 10 and a half hour flight from Seattle to Tokyo and just about lost my mind riding the 90 minutes to Yokohama with mom and dad. It's great seeing them again but my confusion and sleepiness are trying to get the better of me. Right now it's 3:45 in the morning in Ohio but about 5pm here so my body is trying to figure out when to eat and sleep. A constant low grade nausea settled in on the flight over and I'm hoping it will vanish soon. My curiosity makes it a little easier to ignore. Mom and I got up and wandered along the waterfront to the 2 malls that mom shops at regularly. Trying to order a decaf mocha frappuccino here at a starbucks is one of the most convoluted and confusing experiences ever!!! That and I really wish I had measured my waist in centimeters before I got here because that's how everything is sized. I found a new skirt though which I never expected. Pricing here is also a bit above me at the moment, stupid yen!! Fashion here is so odd. The girls are really into kneesocks, boots, and really really short shorts, needless to say I don't fit in. But even if I wore that, I am still a buxom, blonde haired, blue eyed American in a crowd of short Asians. I think theh way I'm feeling right now, simply put is "everything is backyards!" from the steering wheels in the cars, to walking on sidewalks, etc. It all just feels like it isn't quite right. We live in Chinatown which is nice actually because the food looks surprisingly good in all the windows, so I'm excited for my stomach to settle. The cars here all kind of look like toys, all so small and plastic looking. I dunno, my brain is just a jumble right now. The photos I put up are near the malls and show this random amusement park in the heart of the city that has rides about right for me, teehee....except the ferris wheel which takes an hour to go all the way around. I think I'd get to the top and completely flip out, haha!
