In Osaka

Well, before I got to Osaka I had to take this loong and I mean 11 hours to get there. The food was actually pretty good considering it was on the plane like we had chicken and pasta with a HOT roll, and a salad with a fruit cup. Yeah, I know we rode with EVA airlines they're doing it big, but the downside to it was that I got really sick. Like, really sick I felt my stomach was doing flip flops constantly it was not a good feeling at all. But when we got off the plane it was a relief. I was like we landed I was excited but still sick to my stomach. Dad was really happy to finally be going to Japan for the first time. I was soo proud of him. Even though, he didn't show it he was still happy. Well, anyways we got off the plane and we had to go through the check in. There were 2 lines Japanese immigration and foreigners immigration. You know what line we went to, but then I saw a lot of other asians. I was like whoa because I thought they were japanese, but supposedly there were a lot of koreans and chinese people. There was this one korean lady that try to cut in line but she got caught. Her response was classic she was like "Well, I didnt think we would get caught we all look alike!" I had to laugh at that because that was funny. In the line, I saw a bunch of white guys too, but I also say a couple of black people too. But when I saw them it was like this strange instant connection like we looked at each other gave each other the nod it was this "Hey I see you cool and you see me cool" vibe. It made me realize wow I can see why asians hang out with each other a lot in America. Due to that comfort due to the whole "Hey you're asian I'm asian let's hang". Because seeing another black person in Japan is like "Heey you're black I'm black let's hang." Where as in America, if you see another black person it's like "hey let's hang" it's more like What the hell are you wearing?! What are you looking at?! Or a fight is about to pop off! hahahha But yeah, I did see a few blacks here in Osaka and yes again there are black people in japan!! But yeah, while I was on the plane my family was like "Can you understand them?!" I was like "No, they're speaking chinese!" and they were like "Well, you're just making excuses because you don't understand" hahahha I had to laugh at that one! But yeah, my parents were like Brittany there's english how are you going to learn japanese. I was like "We're at the airport wait until we get outside the airport!" Sure enough, we got outside all japanese! But yeah, I was observing the fashion sense and it's wierd so far I find there's about 2 extremes in Osaka it's either loud colors and got daamn she got good taste or mostly just greyish beigish tones that are drabby and that hides a woman's silhoutte. In Tokyo, of course it's different where fashion and looking good is key! But anyways, I can tell dad was intrigued and taking this all in but I was soo happy for him because this was his first time in Japan and he was taking it all in! But at the same time, I was soo sick that I felt my stomach was doing cartwheels like a thousand times. But yeah, I did assist on the interpretation between japanese and english and they were impressed! When we got to the hotel this french guy helped us and this japanese guy helped us. Dad was like "Can I tip I feel bad for not tipping!" and I was like "NO don't tip because they'll be offended!" In Japan, you don't tip because good service is expected! If you tip in Japan it's a serious offense because basically you're implying that service sucks and I feel bad!! <--- I wish we had that attitude in America! The service was great and friendly, but I just went straight to sleep because I was soo sick and my stomach was giving my problems. So I didn't eat anything either. Well anyways, I'm out got serious jet lag and it's 4 am. I will take pics. peace!
