5/24 - Tokyo - Osaka

i realize i've been beginning every post talking about how little sleep i got the night before. i promise this will be the last time. i think.....

last night, i actually slept through the entire night w/out waking up. however, i still got up at 5:30. i did feel more well-rested though. today, pauline went clam-digging w/ our friends and we had a 2 p.m. concert.



i definitely felt much better for the concert and could really get into the music today. once again, the audience was wonderful. i would have to say they are the quietest crowd. while we played, i think i heard 3 coughs and 1 dropped program. not bad. maybe that is why when they applaud, it sounds incredibly loud. not too much yelling out, just pure clapping.

afterwards, pauline met up w/ our group at the hotel where the buses were going to take us to tokyo station. i had heard about the shinkansen (bullet train) and was excited to ride it. it is definitely fast.



after checking in, we just took it easy and went to bed after unsuccessfully trying to use the hotel's internet.
