First Day in Japan

So I just woke up from my first night in Japan. Wow yesterday was a fucking a crazy day. Fernando and I only slept about 2 hours the night before because we planned on just sleeping on the entire flight, but that plan didn't really happen. After arriving to LAX we bought a bottle of Captain Morgan and drank the entire thing after only like 2 hours into the trip, hahah we were so fucked up, I hardly remember the plane ride here. Upon arriving to Japan we stepped out of the plane to Japan, aka the most humid place ive ever been to. We took a bus to Shinjuku so we could find a hotel. We stepped of the bus and tried to comprehend where we were standing, and where our hotel was. Dude it was like a maze, we were walking all over the place, and not to mention it was like a 100 degrees. Luckily my friend Aaron called me and helped me find the way to the hotel where he was waiting for us. After checking in, Fernando and where were trippin so hard because the gound was shaking the entire time we were in the hotel. We were like "what the fuck man," it felt like we were on a boat or something. We were both so tired but we said fuck it, and decided we wanted to go play 3s. We set off to find Mi-ka-do because I knew it was really close to our hotel. After getting there and climbing 4 flights of stairs we found the 3s cabs. We played a few matches but I couldn't keep my eyes open. I did play against the best Ibuki player i've ever played though. Aaron talked to him a little and he said he competed in sbo back in 2004. I didnt catch his name though. We decided to head back to hotel because of our severe jet lag. Walking through Shinjuku I realized that Japan is fuckin crazy, and I love it. Its like a mix between Vegas and NYC. We stopped at 7-11 so we could get something to eat. The food they serve there is actually really good. For 5 bucks I got some chicken bowl thing with rice. When we got back to the hotel, I was having a really hard time falling asleep because the floor was moving so much. At this point Aaron told me that Fernando and I were just trippin hard because the ground wasn't moving at all. I think it was a combination of being hungover, and severely jet lagged that we thought the entire town of Tokyo has a nonstop earthquake. We both passed out around 9pm, we just couldn't hang anymore. SBO starts tomorrow, and I really want to see ST, and I wouldnt mind seeing Tekken 6. Its only like 9:30 am and we are really well rested. Today is going to be a crazy adventure.
