day one

so the flight was around 13 hours,
highlights include the french couple i sat next to, they seemed to know little to no english
"the ringer" "pride and prejudice" and "mine yours and ours" great films, not really

i arrived into Nagoya around 6PM local time, somehting like 4am for most of you
met up with Andy (Aeon training staff), Xavier, Remi, and Nick (other teachers to be)
hopped a bus for about an hour, got a quick heads up on some good places to eat and where training will be on monday
checked in, showered and then Jo and Germaine (an aussie) got back from being out
we all met in the lobby for dinner around 945, problem is most places were closing at 10
we finally found a place and basically let remi run the show, he speaks Japanese fairly well
so dinner consisted of a little dish of octupus bits and potato balls, then we got edamame (soy bean pods)
some fired chicken parts that were served with a tasty mayo, some skewered chicken parts, gizzard, neck skin and regular parts
had an asahi (beer) and some sake with Remi and Nick, oh and then we got squid which was rather tasty!

after dinner we found a kareoke place got a room and rocked out for a decent amount of time, good times
came back to the hotel and crashed bigtime
go jetlag!

i know all of that was kind of dry and boring but im knackered , and now to contemplate day 2, and maybe do my homework.
