Last night, I got home, Japan. I don't know how I'm feeling about my place. I feel a litt bit weird like I can go to my friends' house in the U.S. just by taking a train or a bus even though they are in America. I think that's caused by great transportation.
One of my acuaintances said "Trains are amazing. They can bring our minds to other places, not only our bodies. Isn't it weird?"
I didn't reply to him. I just thought what a heck he was talking about because I don't belive in the theory, our bodies and minds are separable.
But now I would reply to him like "Because of convinient transportation, we don't feel we are traveling long distances, so that we can't feel we moved to long distant place or are living in a far country."
That's why I don't feel I traveled billions miles.
Anyway, I gotta tell you what on earth happened on the last day in the U.S.
In the morning, I left Kevin's house at 7:45, got a bus stop at 8:00, and waited a bus for 40 min, but a bus didn't come. Instead of a bus, one guy parked a car at the bus stop and told me the bus stop is no longer working.
It was shocking, and I was like" That's why I hate this country". I really said that, actually, shouted. But of course, I thanked him a lot.
On the way to another bus stop, I met a middle-aged guy and said" hi, good morning".
He ignored me, so I said loudly again "hi. GOOD MORNING".
He ignored me again. I got so irritated.
I said" hey, What a fuck! You think asian guys are scary? or what!"
He ignored me.
After I got a bus, I was standing by the exit since the bus was full. Then, someone hit my batt. I looked at him. There was an empty seat. I thanked him, but he didn't say anything, even didn't look at me. It was weird. Probably, you are right, Kevin.
Anyway, I got Marin airporter in San Rafael in the nick of time; the airporter arrived after 2min i arrived.
In the airport, there were so many people, more people than you think, waiting for United airline. Some people know how much I hate to wait for something. I sat down instead of waiting in a queue. Then, I got a great idea.
I run to a ticketing dest at United, and said "hey, I got this 100 bucks certificate as compensation because my flight was late for 16 hours. But I don't think 100bukcs is enough for my one day. I wasted a day. Can I get more advanted, like change my economy seat to business or whatever".
The clerk said, " oh. i don't know why you think 100buks isn't enough for your oneday. I'm sorry I can't."
I know how i look like, wearing dirty jeans and jeaket. I don't think I look like a big shot or whatever can make tons of money.
But instead of getting a nice seat, i checked in without making a queue, which is good.
In the airplane, I couldn't sleep at all. I saw three movies: "invincible", "illusion", "night. . . "i forgot the last one, acted by Robin Williams.
The flight was not so long, just 11 hours, but tiring.
The girl next to me was playing "pockemon" for whole trip. She coudn't speak English so much, I bet, since she said " coohei or cafe" instead of Cofee. A flight attendant couldn't understand what she said. It was a bit funny.
Blah blah blah.
I got home and met my family. They were healthy as before.
The trip to America was over. Next my journey is much more like an internal thing like finding my devotion or whatever.
Anyway, thanks you all, and see you someday or on the web.
I dont know if I stop this site or not. I'll think about it.
Well, i gotta study for exams!!!
