Wow is all i can say..
Today's post would have been epic if i could post photos.. but still no connection for my laptop.. fingers crossed for tomorrow's hunt!
One thing i have noticed is how efficient the train system is. It may all be in a different language but it's easier to use than the system at home! :-S
On the way to USJ, i passed many exercise yards and bike storage areas which i thought was neat. They are very into keeping fit and moving here.
USJ is an experience.. if you ever get the chance.. GO!!
Had a ball exploring the large area. I did however have to line up at 10am (when it opened) just to exhange my ticket for 20 mins.. so many people there! Now i understand why they say to get there early! haha
Cassie and Erin were amazing as Elphaba in the condensed version of Wicked. Even though Cassie was sick, she was such a trooper. The version of Wicked at USJ is actually pretty good! Most of it was in jap, but if you know the story you can work out what is going on. The way they do it though is very good for if they were going to put it on tv. Instead of going through the whole story like the professional version, you meet them in the emerald city when they meet the wizard. You're then taken back to the past.. like a memory sequence. It's so creative!
Both the girls though were amazing and i was lucky enough to see Erin for 5 mins after the show. Felt good to be able to talk to a friend who understood you (ie. english).
But the surprise for the day was meeting Moto. I didn't know she was coming today and she came in just to see me! So for half the day i had company which was nice. Big language barrier, but we got through :-)
I was going to stay for the magical lights parade, but after watching Cassie (i think it was her.. couldn't tell since i was so far back) in The Gift of Angels show which was all about christmas, it hit home that i wasn't going to be home for my christmas.. so i decided to call it a night and head home, which resulted in a funny train ride with the guy who plays santa at USJ.
I could write a whole lot more on the day, but i've been on this laptop for nearly 45 mins and i think the hostel people are becoming suss :-P
Will hopefully update on the Wed, will try to give the laptop a rest tomorrow.
Hope you're all well :-)

You seem to know all the right people,I can't imagine everybody getting the chance to meet some of the cast of Wicked. It also looks like you are starting to get quite a following for your trip so keep up the good work and keep that laptop going.
