back in the u-s-s-...wait
Jan. 7th, 2007 12:47 amSo, I've gotten back to Japan, and I'm mostly just posting to let people know I arrived all right, after 27 straight hours of traveling. I don't think ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aging_parents quite believed me when I quoted them that number, but it is currently 9 AM in Austin, Texas. I left my parents' house in Austin at 6 AM -- yesterday.
And of course, when I got here it was storming and raining heavily, and I walked back to my apartment from the train station, at 11:30 PM, with all luggage in tow. Bah.
I should just be grateful that I made it back to Toyama station in time to catch the 11:18 train out to Takayama -- if the line at Shin-Osaka had been five minutes longer, I wouldn't have, and I would be spending the night at the train station right now. Fun.
So, I'm back, and happy that none of my utilities have been shut off while I was gone, nor has my apartment caved in from snow. Yay!
One thing I more or less ended up getting for Christmas (I realized just now that I don't think I paid you back for half it,aging_parents, was a sweet little external hard drive, which I lugged back to Japan with me -- to only just now realize that the plug is (of course) three-prong, and Japanese outlets only have two prongs! Well, uh, I guess it's the home center for me tomorrow? They might have something, maybe?
Ooh, thunder. I'll go back to eating my pop-tarts in peace.
