Plane Ride/Day 0: Everything went fine at O'hare except I wasn't TSA precheck which was upsetting as I had to go in the line with all the plebeians. After that on the plane I swapped my aisle seat for the middle-middle seat so Lucy could sit next to Lily, but it was fine because I got to sit in-between two students I knew well and who usually laughed at my jokes. During the 12 hour flight I watched the Japanese dub of Spiderman Homecoming with Marisa, listened to the same 5 songs over and over, and lost a lot of games of trivia. I neither slept nor got up the entire flight. I don't really remember much after we got off the plane as I was so tired but eventually we made it to the youth hostel, I took a quick shower, and then I passed out,
Day 1 : My group and I woke up at 6:30 to the sound of Bennett's phone blasting K-pop and we quickly got our stuff together and headed to get breakfast. I usually never eat breakfast but I did promise to try everything so I did, most of the stuff I didn't know didn't taste too bad but had a weird texture, the stuff I did know, the rice and miso, were amazing. After breakfast we went to Meiji shrine which was cool to look at. There was a ceremony where you cleansed your body with the water there, though I wasn't really focused on the cleansing as the water was freezing.
