Sushi and bandwidth continued.

So after the trash sorting binge, I went and got a bowl of ramen at the nearest noddle shop. The shop was dingy the menu was a few cigarette smoke stained pieces of paper on the wall... no English... no pictures. I sat down, and when the man behind the counter looked at me and said a couple of words I could not understand... I simply pointed at the food that the guy next to me was eating. The shop keeper looked at me like I was inane, and shrugged, and went off to make the food. HE handed me a bowl of ramen that looked fantastic, but it had a pile of seaweed on top of it the size of a middle sized cat.I mixed it all together, and munched it down. All of the prices on the menus on the wall were under 600 yen, so I handed him a 1000 yen bill, the smallest paper money they have here, and got back 550 in change... so it seems I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu... awesome.

I then went home, put my sheets on my bed... mostly... and laid my head down on my pillow. I didnt fall asleep though... not that fast... as the pillow seemed to be filled with some sort of beans or something... and made an annoying crunching noise every time I moved. Figuring I would focus on the noise too much, and never get to sleep, I used my stuffed kitty as a pillow... and fell asleep almost immediately.

the next day comming soon... I am only... hmmm... 3 days behind now :P.

I hate Japanese pillows! Everyone here has the bean-bag ones. I've heard you can buy down-stuffed ones at department stores though.
