Turning Japanese - Day 01: Initial Impression

First several images of Japan, from Narita Int'l Airport to Ate Tet's house in Kashiwa-shi. My sisters Ate Tet and Ate Emmy, and their friend Ate Luttie, took a leave from work to pick me up at the airport.

Ate Tet, I and Ate Emmy.

Ate Luttie and Ate Emmy.

Wala lang. Palabas lang ng parking lot, at papasok sa kaibuturan ng Japan.

Ito ata 'yung tinatawag ng *turay*.

Parang Jurassic Park, wala nga lang T-Rex na humahabol sa likod.

Ate Tet. It took a while before I got used to sitting to the left of the driver. Every time liliko kami, pakiramdam ko eh babangga kami sa kasalubong naming sasakyan.

A few seconds after exiting the airport.

Walang trapik, walang usok, walang kalat, walang takatak boys, at higit sa lahat--walang mga pulis na nagtatago sa likod ng mga puno.

Until now, wala pa rin akong naiintindihan sa mga sulat nila. Buti na lang maraming arrows at color coded halos lahat ng bagay kaya kahit paano nakaka-survive ako rito.

Dito ata nakatira si Snow White.

Sematary.

Ha! Mas maganda ang mga footbridge sa Pilipinas. Ito plain lang. 'Yung sa amin pink & blue.

Late lunch at Coco's before proceeding to Ate Tet's house where I stayed for the first ten days.

My first tea...

And first raw food.
