I'm sure you've done it! Probably more than once. Stuffed items into a box and pressed them down to make more room for something else? Well, I was 'in the box' today! Not literally of course, but I sure understand how those items on the bottom of the box feel as the other items press against them. My experience was called the "Tokyo Train System". I have never seen people enter an already overcrowded train and literally push the mobs of people already standing to make a millimeter more space to fit their feet in. Wow...it got better as I was on the 'bottom' of the box, or the other end of the train as people were pushing. I had a metal bar in my hip and a Japanese lady's hair in my face. If that wasn't bad enough, everytime the train stopped and people wanted to get off, there was a very intense shoving of people out of the way. Let's just say, I think my hip is permanently bruised from the beating it received. I had to ask myself how people do it everyday????
Tokyo DisneySea was a very interesting place. It was much different than the typical Disneyland. No princes or princesses walking around in big dresses with true love following them wherever they went. There was no "TomorrowLand" or "FantasyLand". Instead, we explored different countries of the world beginning in the center of the earth (ok, not a literal country, but definitely a futuristic one) and ending in South America. Italy, Egypt, and the underwater world were in between. I heard many languages, with Japanese accents of course, but languages just the same. To be honest, I would have to say that DisneySea lacks the magicalness of DisneyLand...but then perhaps that's just because I'm older and don't get the 'warm' feeling all over when I visit DisneyLand anymore. I am so glad that we were able to have the "Tokyo Disney Adventure" and doubly-blessed to get to go for free and have a young lady, Mana, accompany us! Thank you for your prayers. We had a great day!
Tomorrow...a shorter tour of famous sites in Tokyo!
