Been really lazy with updating. Life has been a bit busy!
I'm engaged, moved to another apartment, started at two new schools, playing Tera, going to way to many parties, and cleaning way to much!
I'll be trying to update this more this week. I need to post my Culture Japan Night pictures. I went to Dollpa 27 but I did not take many pictures. I need to get a new camera!

March 17th:
Headed down to apartment to get packages and wait for NTT.
NTT showed up and installed the net fast and left. Desk and bed showed up and I spent hours putting them together. Occasionally dropping stuff and making loud noises which I hoped were not
pissing off my neighbors too bad ^^;
Bedding never arrived so I headed back up to the hotel. Still had one more night on the company's dime so decided to use it!
Another small quake around 10pm.

Got up at 9am and stood waiting for the helper, who decided to show up at 10:30am. Headed over to Hinodecho station and down to Yokosuka-chuo station. Talked a bit on the train with helper but
also spent a lot of time staring out the windows.

Got up at 7am and got ready for the day. I went down to the lobby because I wanted to ship my bags to the next hotel. The hotel steward didn't speak a lick of English and my Japanese is the
equivalent of a 1st grader.

Landed in Haneda at 9:30pm (A whole hour before the scheduled time!). Proceeded through customs. Tried to take a picture but the second I pulled out my camera the custom agents started walking
towards me so I put it back. Took about 30 minutes to get the bags. Everything else took maybe 5 minutes in customs. Haneda is a beautiful airport!

March 13th:
I got up, rechecked all my luggage, searched around my room making sure nothing was left, then I hopped into the car with my parents and headed off to Portland International Airport. Once there I
took my luggage to the United counter and got them weighed. 69.6lbs for one bag and 65lbs for the other. Charge for luggage = $0. Military ID(even if it is expired) allows me 3 check-in baggage
of 70lbs each.
