Sendai Day 1

I had to get up early to make it on my way to Tokyo to get on my train. It takes about an hour to do so. I woke up kinda late, and was in a hurry. I missed my bus of choice. And when I got to Totsuka station, the train was slow to get there since I missed my bus of choice. I was for sure that I wouldn't make it to my train in time, but when I arrived at Tokyo station, I ran as fast as I could to get to the platform. I wasn't carrying so much crap this time, and I got on the train just in time.

The train took a few hours and when I got there, YSki was waiting there for me. We then walked out, it was much cooler than it was in the southern half of Japan. That was the first thing that I noticed. We walked about 15 minutes to go to the Mos Burger that she used to work at. We walked through a very famous street in Sendai, that has many festivals there. People from all over go to that park area, actually I don't know why, but every prefecture has their little thing that they do.

When we got to Mos burger, we met her friend that is the manager there. He's only 19 years old too. We walked over to Italian Tomato to eat some pasta. It was pretty good and talked for a few hours. He tried to speak English, and it wasn't bad. Afterward, we walked over to another park area, but he had to leave because he had another appointment with a friend. At the park, when we were looking in the tree, there was a balloon that was stuck. It was a balloon of NEMO. So we found Nemo hanging out in a tree in Sendai.

From there, we walked back the other way to get to Sendai Kokusai Hotel. This was a high class hotel no doubt. The best that I stayed at in Japan. Everyone was nice to greet us at the door, they carried our stuff, and the elevators had chairs in them. That's really good. We had a room on the 13th floor so we had an amazing view. We chilled there for a little bit until it was dinner time and we would meet up with YSki's mom. Her mom is also a nurse. What's with everyone's mom being a nurse? Anyways, we went to a Chinese restaurant. I ate Fried Rice, which was pretty good, but not spicy enough for me. But still it tasted pretty good. We had a group picture outside when we finished. She asked me to buy her some Corn Chocolate when I went to Sapporo, since it was very famous for that and she liked it.Once we finished we all went to a building next to our hotel that was a little bit taller and it had a nice Night view of the city. YSu made sure to tell me all the different things that the city had to offer and why it's the best in Japan. Like every other friend of mine. Then we went back to the Hotel to sleep
