Sleepless in Japan. I crossed over a time zone line that turned into the next day. So I'm in the future now if anyone wants any sports scores or anything. Just let me know. After landing in Osaka, Japan and going through immigration, the first thing I saw was a large billboard of Meg Ryan advertising Japanese coffee. Japan rules! My first impression of Japan, after Meg Ryan that is, was man-o-man, there's a lot of fucking Japanese people here. Can I cuss here? Not sure...sorry bout that. I was given a free hotel room to stay overnight for my flight to Incheon, Korea the next day. The hotel was right next to the airport via a short walkway. The room and bed were really small. I was super tired, so I relaxed a little bit and watched TV. Every channel was in Japanese, so that didn't go so well. There were a couple of different baseball games on, so I watched them. Japanese baseball, from what I gathered briefly, is pretty good. They play good basic ball. Lots of hits and runs. After resting a bit, I went for a walk around the hotel shopping and restaurant area. I found a place that had picture menus and went in and just pointed to something that looked good. I was able to use sign language and ordered a small beer. The Japanese business men eating at the other tables had huge bottles of beer. They were drinking 40 ounces for their dead homies I assume. It was already night time and I had a flight the next morning, so I went up to my room. I saw a button on my phone that said "massage" so I pressed it. The lady didn't understand English, so my first ever attempt at getting a massage with a "happy ending" didn't go so well. The phone rang later and a lady who spoke English called and asked if I ordered a massage. By that time I was pooped from watching the squiggly lines of a few channels that didn't come in so well, so I politely declined. I didn't have any Japanese Yen anyway.
