breakfast from the sea.

i know, i know, it is sideways. due to our INCREDIBLY early rise, we were able to make it to the fish market. so were these guys.

The Jet Lag myth (noodle face)

i love to pretend that jet lag is a myth. a tall tale told to scare travelers and for chumps who can't handle a tough night of no sleep. but last night, when i woke up, ready to get in the shower and start the day early, i realized there might be something to this. upon awaking early, i thought, "well, this is great, so i'll get up early and explore, no big deal. get a jump start, as as they say."

the time was.... 12:30.

few jams and some ceiling stares later (ambien) i went back to sleep. however, i'm up now. it is currently 5 am. LET"S PARTY TOKYO!! WHO IS WITH ME!!?? hello? anyone? where is everyone??? ohaiyogozaimasu...........

Ground Control to Major "John"

after a 14 hour flight, and everything that entails, i was welcomed in tokyo with this public toilet. while yes, i'm sure tokyo is much more exciting than a toilet - it is a tough one to top. the only feature i used was the "music" feature, which just played a non-stop flushing noise. This WAS hilarious, until i was unable to stop it... it may still be singing as we speak. the rest of the features are clearly labeled: heat settings, cold settings, a variety of sprays (?). read and ask yourself this - have karyn and shawn ACTUALLY travelled to the future? the answer may surprise you. or not, after all, i am 13 hours ahead of you. No sleep in, and starving.

the first "blog."

i just wish it wasn't called a "blog." couldn't they come up with something that doesn't sound so gross?

this is the website where there will be pictures of two extremely happy people eating lots of noodles, and buying cute things.
