Back in Tokyo

VERY VERY VERY long flight.
9 hours from Sao Paolo to NY.
2 hours layover in NY. Walked right into the Newsstand to buy some gossip magazines...Haven't touched them in ages!
Got a cup of SBUX tall soy latte.
14 hours from NY to Tokyo.
I'm glad that my hostel let me have a really late check out for a small fee, and that I was able to take a shower before getting to the airport.

By the time I was halfway thru the 2nd flight, I was so so so so so so so so so bored.
Done with all the interesting new release films.
Tired of reading.
Sick of lying down in my seat.

I'm never going to do this flight again.
I used to have a Brazilian friend who often did this, even for a week's vacation back home. How did she ever do it?!

Anyways, I'm done with the travel thing. For now.
Meaning I don't have any more flight tickets in hand to go anywhere.
But, here's the thing….I know I'm supposed to get back into reality, live a normal course of life (ie. FIND A JOB), but…. I have to be in Italy in a few weeks for my friend's wedding (I'm the bridesmaid so there's absolutely no way I can ditch that one), and then the summer vacation season starts.
The dilemma being, should I start looking for a job now, or be a bum until the end of the summer???
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Either way, I'm headed north this weekend. Time for some hot springs/onsen and traditional Japanese food.
