The Process of Progress: Chapter Twelve

WE MISSED IT!

From the onset today was hectic. After missing the trip to Odeiba, I decided to return to the hostel to catch up on some work. It was still really early in the day, so Stephen and I decided to sit down and converse over some food. We had been talking about checking out an Indian restaurant for a while, so with so much time to spare, we made our way to an Indian restaurant across the street from the hostel. From the onset, we were greeted by the most amiable of people. He provided us with great service and an even better meal. I’d have to admit, that food has played a phenomenal role in me enjoying the great city of Tokyo. The food at this Indian restaurant was so good and plentiful that I didn’t even get a chance to finish my meal. After leaving the Indian restaurant, I chose to be a bit proactive by working ahead and reading ahead in the text book since I knew it would be a while before everyone was to return to the hostel. After catching up and getting ahead on my work, I chose to get ahead on my sleep, and boy was that nap refreshing. Upon waking up from my nap, I went up to the rooftop terrace to begin writing, something I love to do when I have spare time which is not so often. Once I decided I had written enough for the day, I walked down stairs to be greeted by Dr. Sellars. We had a really great dialogue about how she thoroughly enjoyed the island and really recommended that I still make the trip once everyone returned.

Later that evening, I met up with everyone that I usually hang with and we decided to show our buddies how we have fun in Asakusa. Our buddies had never been to Asakusa before seeing as how they’re not from Tokyo, and Asakusa is not one of the most popular districts. We ate at Mos Burger, and some really good food while we were there. After Mos Burger, we walked the city for a while before saying our goodbyes. Today turned out to be a pretty good day after all.
