jamjar: (OT3 classic)
See, [livejournal.com profile] girl_starfish, I can update my livejournal unprompted Even if I will have to go back and edit it when I'm more, well, awake.

Though on my parent's PC, since I don't have any way of hooking my mac up to AOL. Grr.

I'm back in the UK, which is midly terrifying, in that what am I gonna do with-- everything! sense. Just a little. I spent the past two weeks in varying degrees of travel and leeching. After spending a week in [livejournal.com profile] girl_starfish's apparto, I took a bus down to Tokyo and spent a few days at Nicola's, seeing Jen off and introducing Nicola to the wonder that is [livejournal.com profile] takarazuka. It was pretty much fantabulous. The second time I've been and for the same show, but we had much better seats this time.

After that, I went down to Fukuoka to stay with Louise for a few days. Pictures to follow, because there was a great kareoke place with memorable toilets. Too much money was spent various items of clothing and also, Patarillo and Takaguchi stuff which I won't see for a month (sent back by sea-mail). After that, we went up to Kanazawa to see [livejournal.com profile] hime1999. We saw the ninja temple, which is, we discovered, so cool that it has spontaneously developed curative powers, by sheer virtue of its coolness. Sliding doors! Hari-kiri rooms! Extra stairs! Places where you can slash the feet of intruders. We also did five and a half hours of kareoke, four and a half in one sitting. Much dignity was lost, but I didn't fail as completely at kokku robin as I have done in the past. Back up to Tokyo, one night with [livejournal.com profile] ice_kristall and, since I had to be at Narita airport by 7.30 the next morning, Louise and I opted to spend the second night in a love hotel in Shinjuku. It was rather flash, kind of tacky/classy, and pretty fun. Excellent bath.

And then I bid a tearful farewell to Louise at the airport, had one short flight and then the long connection, trucked my stuff back by public transport and am now writing this with only partial consciousness. Seriously, I keep nodding off, then jerking awake when my head goes down.

I bought my ticket home yesterday. I leave Japan from Narita on the 9th of August, with a tiny (one hour) transfer in Seoul, arriving in the UK at about 5 pm on the 9th of August.

Anyone out there navigated Seoul airport? The travel agent said it was small (well, せまい was the word he used) and shouldn't be a problem, but an hour doesn't give you much time for waiting about.

I still have lots of stuff to send home, and I'm clearing out of my appartment on Friday.

The word "argh!" comes to mind.
