ellefliesI leave the internet for awhile and suddenly my inbox is full of sparkly snowflake cookies. Not that I'm complaining ;)
I was stuck in the prison known as Japan and it was AWFUL. Granted, we weren't really in Japan, even though physically you could say we were in Northern Japan. No, we were at Misawa Air Base and upon arrival they took our passports and off we went to the on base hotel. Which was awful, that hotel is what made the stay feel so prison like. That, and the fact that the only places to eat were the Commissary, Popeyes and Burger King. Very depressing - when in Japan I try not to eat American fast food. Blech.
The worst thing was the lack of internet. There was internet but I don't know if I'd like to call what they had internet... it was so slow. In the 30 hours I had there it just got to the point where I didn't even bother checking it - except for making increasingly hysterical posts on twitter...
I wasn't even able to edit my brother's paper for one of his college classes which I promised I'd do. The internet was so damn slow I could barely get into my e-mail let alone download the thing.
it was the nicest thing in the world: crawling into Seattle suffering from exhaustion... finally checking my e-mail and finding all those v-gifts. You Guys!
Big thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I'm just bummed I missed this bandwagon while it was going by.
