Viaje a Japón
No sé muy bien por donde empezar a contar todo el viaje de Japón. Aterricé en el aeropuerto de Kansai por la noche. Es precioso. El aeropuerto está en medio del mar, y parece que aterrizas sobre el agua. Osaka, desde arriba, es infinito. Se ven luces hasta donde pierdes la vista.
I don´t know how to start writting about my trip to Japan. I landed on Kansai airport at night. It was so beautiful. The airport is like in the middle of the sea, and it seems you are falling into the water. Osaka, from the air, has no end. You can see city lights to infinity…
Subir al tren, llegar a Namba, una estación tan grande… muchas líneas de tren, metro, luces, carteles, muchos japoneses, mucho movimiento, tengo que memorizar el camino pero soy incapaz. Un mes después, todo me resulta familiar, ya me sé el camino de vuelta, conozco cada esquina. Pero esa sensación de llegar a un mundo tan diferente, pasillos y pasillos, laberintos, gente, carteles, ruido, fue lo que más me marcó del viaje. Los primeros cinco minutos. Japoneses por todas partes, un idioma incomprensible. No puedo compar un billete de tren yo sola, no puedo hablar con nadie, me pierdo entre tantas indicaciones… Estoy en Japón. A eso venía, y me río, me río sola, y me encanta.
Take the train, arrive to Namba, the biggest station ever… thousands of lines, train, subway, lights, neon signs, a lot of japanese, a lot of movement around, I should memorize the way, but I can´t. A month later everything is easier, I remember everycorner. But the first sensation, arrive to a different world, corridors and labyrinths, people, neon signs, noise… it was the most shocking in the whole trip. The first five minutes. Japanese all around, a language that I can´t understand. I can´t buy a ticket for the train on my own, I can´t talk to anybody, I´m lost… I´m in Japan. That´s what I wanted, and I laugh, I can´t stop similing, and I love it.

But you are strong enough to be in it. And you could take over the problems, it must makes you bigger person, isnt it ? I envy you that you got a good experience ! I hope I will get as good as yours in Spain !! I know there are many friends who will be with me though and they would help me when Im lost. hehe :p
