Hi and welcome to this edition of rant blog.
That's right. Rant blog. I am ranty. Very fucking ranty and on top of that I'm feeling rather sad/depressed and I want to cry a lot. Why? The answer is simple really, I am stranded in Chitose, Hokkaido, Japan because the snow is rediculous. The Chitose airport never shuts down because of snow, never. Or so I was told. I'm not blaming the people who told me this. Chitose expects stupid, stupid amounts of snow so it was a very reasonable estimation. However today they got stupid, stupid, stupid amounts of snow. The entire Island of Hakkaido is currently being dumped on by two low pressure systems. Where I was, Toroko, is expecting up to 4 meters, yes meters, of snow from yesterday (February 20) until tonight. They have a blizzard warning, a snow warning and a snow damage warning which basically means that you have to shovel your roof off or it might cave in.
Hakkaido is a snow place. This is not completely unheard of. However it is really really fucking up my plans to go home, eat salt and vinegar chips with milk and chocolate, macaroni and cheese and then just because I can have a freaking awesome shower of awesomeness and then fall asleep beside my boyfriend who I haven't seen in two weeks and am really really starting to get a jonesing for in the worst (or best) way. I was going to be home in just over 24hrs. The vast majority of it spent on flights and such not but still I was going to be home. Home.
I cannot express how much I really want to be home right now. This is not to say that I haven't completely and thoroughly enjoyed my stay here in Japan. It has been all sorts of wonderful and spending time with Care has been awesome, but I am ready to be home. I think even more so now because I am stuck surrounded by NOONE that I know or really understand easily and I'm feeling kind of lonely. It's great. Woo...
Remind me never to travel alone again because at least if I get stuck somewhere where nothing makes sense I can at least have someone to talk to and do things with and maybe if I'm lucky just hangout in our room and cuddle with. That would be nice. I could use a hug right about now. My next step is to go find food. This could be something interesting. Not sure how I'm going to go about that yet but I'm think I may just try out the dining room here at the hotel. It could be good. And this hotel does cater to us gaijin. Joy. Maybe I can get some mac and cheese. (Ha!)
Either way... right now, I am going to watch some more grey's anatomy and then after Al calls me back when he get's home I am going to find food. Here's to my new found non-verbal communication skills. (PS the people here are really helpful and nice even if I can't talk to them half the time.)
Also.... I am leaving on the 23rd. Joy.

Sounds like my trip to Italy. If you're spending two weeks in any foreign part of the world with bad weather, always bring someone from home with you (someone you won't strangle.) It's nice to know that at least your hotel services foreigners.
