The road has ended!  And boy was it an adventure.  This episode of the Road to Japan will cover the final leg of my journey:  From the flight to the dorm.

As I sat in the airport this morning with my mum, step father and Amy-chan, things still didn’t really kick in.  I felt just as normal as usual, no excitement, nothing.  In fact, as I sit here in the computer lab in Seminar house 3 i still feel the same.  This is my new life.

The only thing that really stirred up some sort of emotion today was seeing Amy off.  She’s been super strong this entire time, never shed a tear, and was only ever excited for me, and she stayed strong this morning.  She was laughing and kidding around with me as she always does.  So when it came time to go past the 2nd baggage check thingo (passengers only) I said my goodbyes, hugs and kisses and made off for the queue.  Well… the queue was a little long so i joined the end of it and i was pretty much still in plain view of everyone that I just said bye to, so was Mitch.  So we stood there saying: “This is awkward, we just said bye but we’re right here…”.

Ok so this is just an email i’ve sent home, i’ll make a blog post out of it too!

“just　letting you know i made it ok, the flight was pretty cool i slept most of the way.  nothing has sunk in yet, just feels like im in a weird brisbane, but i havent been outside yet.  its extremely humid, grossly.  i need a shower lol things are a bit weirder here, but really　cool.  there were these japanese people on the flight who gave mitch and i chocolate and bread, and 161 yen lol they were really nice, so mitch gave em a keyring which they seemed to like. 
 
this keyboard is weird as shit.
 
customs were really relaxed, they didn:t check anything.
 
ok so now im gonna make my way to my dorm place, should take about an hour and  half or so.  wish me luck hahahaha.
 
jace”

Ciao for Now!
