Lonely Japanese Capsule Hotel

for the past 22 years, i’ve always wanted to experience a capsule
hotel. well, the time has come. in japan, salary men who drink too
much, miss the train, or decide last minute to spend the night next to
their company end up staying here. it’s cheap, 4,200 yen or $51 USD to
be exact. if i turned out to become a salary man, i would have stayed
in here over a hundred of times. but lucky traveling surfers like me
get to stay at minshiku’s, hotels, and ryokan’s. well, i thought i was
lucky until i stayed here. you get this small box as your room but it’s
perfect. once that shutter closes, your all alone and you actually get
a good sleep. there is a shower, fudo, bathrooms, dining area, massage
chairs, and even a nice desk area where i’m typing this right now. i
love it here! i feel so relaxed, so calm, and i had one of the best
sleeps since coming to japan. for the past 22 years, i’ve been trying
to time it to beat the last train home, been leaving my friends right as
things start to get excited, or stressing all night about not making the
long train ride back to shonan. from now on, i’m going to have fun in
tokyo, check myself into a capsule hotel, wake up the next morning, and
go home. it’s easy, it’s convenient, and it’s efficient. i might even
stay here again tonight. haha.
anyway, M6 starts tomorrow. got to get some last things done because
the next thing you know, i’ll be on a flight back to hawaii. it’s
amazing how time just flies!!!
last, wanted to thank naoka, ryosuke, miwa-san, and akko-chan for a
great time last night. that place we ate in shinbashi was amazing!
it’s funny how we have go-naminori meetings. we talk serious in a lobby
of a department store for 15 minutes, then we have a wonderful happy
dinner talking not about work, we talk about life. yes again, i have
the greatest job in the world! or should i say “greatest jobs in the
world.”
have a wonderful day!

Goodnight おやすみなさい
