Tokyo is always full of energy. I probably pass by thousands of people going to and from class. I really do love it but I'm still getting used to it because I come home so exhausted every day. I lived in Chicago and it's not the same. They're both cities but they don't compare. Tokyo is a lot more advanced. The transportation system is amazing and you can get to just about anywhere you want to go by it. Everything is ridiculously convenient and I don't think things are as expensive as people think they are here but then again you really have to do some exploring. I really love the 7/11's here. They're actually nice stores and the food is the same quality as a diner or cafe (well, in my opinion). Apparently yesterday, instead of suffering the rain without an umbrella, I could of bought one at the 7/11 for 100 yen (~$1.00). Instead, I was wet and all the effort I took to make myself look nice was wasted. I really love city life and how everything is at my fingertips. I hope that my friends can visit soon! I've seen so much but at the same time, not that much at all. Tokyo is such a huge city that I can't even explain it to someone, it's something you'd have to see for yourself. I remember the first night I arrived. I was so exhausted and I just wanted to sleep on the bus ride to the hotel but I forced myself to stay awake so I could see the city. It was everything I thought it would be and even more.

I know exactly what you mean about the 7/11s. Yeah, Kyoto is big, too. There are still parts of the city I haven't explored that I want to go to, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Isn't public transportation great? I use it all the time! And I swear when I get back to the states I'm riding my bike everywhere. Yeah, rain sucks. I get so sweaty on my way to school when I ride my bike and I'm just gross the whole day. I rode my bike in the rain to school and my breaks didn't work... and then I walked to and from school in the rain... that also sucked :P

You are soooo right! I went to Japan for study abroad this summer and I took a shuttle bus to my hotel that night. Omg, I was so amazed as I looked out the window. It was late at night but I knew that everything about my 5 weeks there was going to be far better than expected and it was!
But I really should be writing about my trip LOL but I do is read blogs about Japan haha. But yeah, I'm going to keep reading your blog because it seems sooo interesting!
