I love excitement. A few of my friends have observed that stuff starts happening wherever I go. Well, what can I say? It does seem to be true.. Anyways, I set off for Japan yesterday and am currently in Hong Kong while typing this!
After watching A Good Day to Die Hard in the plane yesterday, I went to 'half-sleep' and woke up to watch half of Les Miserables! (I must say the latter was amazing - even if I watched only half of it!) a couple of light snacks, it was time for landing. I wish I could capture it - it was a scene that was one of a kind! Till the last moment I was scared that we were going to land in the water! To top that, the view being a cocktail of mountains and skyscrapers caught my interest. Moving to the transfer line I had around 5 hours to kill! The airport was huge as well and had a lot to offer! Using WiFi to the fullest and charging my phone, assuring my parents I had my passport and boarding pass and using the metro (super fast I must say!) to reach my gate, Skyping my cousins...time flew past! Before I knew it it was time to board the plane to Narita!

| Hong Kong Airport! |
So the flight to Tokyo was good as well. Once again, I passed time watching movies. By the time the flight landed, I was so excited to meet my cousins that I finished all the procedures within half an hour and was out! My cousins and aunt I guess weren't expecting me to be as fast though! :P From there, we took the train - Narita Express till Shibuya where my cousins introduced me to the 'health drink' - Pocari. It was pretty nice :) The metro again was spectacular - we even saw a double decker train which is supposed to be very rare! To top that my cousin's seat number was 1-D (and she is crazy behind one direction) so you can imagine how 'on top of the world' she was! The rest of the journey passed in merry chatter! We took a taxi from the world famous Shibuya Crossing, saw forever 21, found out 'poppo' means hair salon, saw the expressway, 24 hour shops and experienced quiet....Silence..and peace.
On reaching home, I met my grandmom after a month, ate delicious food and 'kulfi' (you could call it the indian version of ice cream!) and opened up my bags :) After chatting for a while and cracking jokes, the clock struck two and we thought it was a good time to sleep, so yeah, we slept.
Kanksha :)
Well, it was a pretty abrupt ending, I know...
But I have an interesting fact for you - Taxis out here have automatic doors - the open and shut on their own! Isn't that weird and cool at the same time???
