Arrival

After I got off the plane there were probably around 20-30 assistants wearing pink shirts to guide me through the corridors of the airport.  All of them were full of energy and welcomed the new teachers to Japan which was cool.  We loaded on a bus for a hotel where another 10 or so assistants were waiting to guide us to information booths and our rooms.

View from my room in Keio Plaza Hotel

The place I'm staying at for a few days for orientations and such is called Keio Plaza Hotel.  It has a pretty nice view and although the view would be nicer if it were not cloudy, it would be a lot hotter and this country is hot enough as it is so no real complaints.

Slept decent, although only around 5.5 hours or so, which is why I have time to hash out this entry.  Breakfast goes until 9 and I don't eat breakfast so before orientation starts it's lazy time in the hotel room.

Angry game!

This game is awesome.  You get to pick a scenario from things like a botched wedding to a classroom full of misbehaving kids.  You pound the table as you get angrier and angrier until you can't take it anymore then you flip the table on them and try to take out as much of the people and damage as much stuff as you can.  Hilarious when you see the looks on the faces of the people you toss the table into.  Check out this link to see how it's played.

Well gotta go.  Battery is running out and I forgot this place is all about 2 tong outlets.


Edit: Forgot to put my 3 tong converter in the right suitcase but luckily my camera that I bought in Korea had some converters that worked with the computer.  Internet addict for sure.
