Thanx guys, was SUPER stoked!
My folks know this guy thats pretty up there at Northwest & he hooked up round trip tix for $200. Yup.
Then, being the genius that I am, I just booked some random dates without talking to anyone or checking for events or resorts in advance.
Well, I chose the 15th~25th. I'm boarding the plane & I bump into Mari(blue hoody).
So instead of being stuck at the airport she drove me all the way to Tokyo.(Thanx Mari!!!)
I mean, its not that I can't fend for myself as I can speak, read & write the language, but that place is a crazy digital world. Its so hard to even figure out how to buy subway tickets! People don't pay with money these days. Not even cards. Cell phone. Yup, the celly. Crazy.
& when I get to Tokyo I call this girl that was supposed to let me crash but didn't answer. So I ended up staying at a capsule hotel(4000yen-about $45).
Now if you've never stayed in one, good for you...
Next morning I'm off to the SBJ(Japan version of SIA) as Mari is my only ride & I don't have any plans or clue of what I'm gonna do...
I get there & bump into all my sponsors & after a free lunch on them I'm booked for the whole trip. Hang out, bro down & skate. Then some life style photos(ya, so gay! ) & on to 3 different mountains in 2 prefectures for pix & video. That finishes on the 24th. & my flights on the 25th. Pretty awesome & seamless trip with free food , lodging, gas & tickets. My original estimate for the trip was around $2000+. All said & done INCLUDING airfare was under $600 for 10 days in Japan. Pretty smashing I must say. Especially with my totally unplanned "freestyle".
Canada in the spring & possibly New Zealand in the summer!
O ya! I also met this girl on the flight to Japan. Sweet times! |
