Back from a short hiatus, I am currently internet-less (if there is such a word) but I am taking this opportunity to sort of “steal” wifi internet from a generous unsuspecting neighbor. Thank you very much! I owe my cyber life to you.
Just about two weeks ago, my wish has been granted! I was given a chance to go to Japan and actually set foot outside of Narita Airport. Yay! Naturally, once the bus started rolling I took out my digicam and started snapping pictures of the view. Did you know that Narita is not in Tokyo? As far as I can recall it is in another prefecture, hence the farmlands.

A 4-hour bus concrete and nature scenic ride to Hakone and I managed to stay awake amidst the temptation to snooze after an exhausting flight. Hell no am I going to sleep when I finally can take in what Japan has to offer.
Yeah they offer instant vending machine coffee + entertainment. And highly advanced toilets that warmed my freezing ass while the toilet played a “flushing” sound to discreetly hide nature’s call.
I. SWEAR. This vending machine is really cool. When we punched in our order the screen found in the middle showed how our coffee was being poured onto a cup and how our coffee is being delivered to us. Sounds lame? But surely if you’ve seen it at work you’d want to punch in another order. Watch out! You may think it’s a cold drink but it might turn out hot! Which happened to me and my Oolong Tea.
