It's 4:20 AM Japan time and I've been awake for 2 hours because I crashed early last night -- 9PM and now I'm doomed to jet lag hell. I thought I was doing well with the jet lag, but apparently it got the better of me last night. As a result, I missed the Saturday party I was expecting to attend and now tomorrow I can expect to be dead tired by the evening again. Oh well, I go home in 2 days anyhow.

Later today I'm going to attempt to visit Baird-Miller-san from JCMU at his house about an hour outside Nagoya. He's teaching English there to Japanese people in the JET program, and he's staying in a little town in the countryside. I'm looking forward to getting out of this crowded city and away from the insane crowds at Expo.

I am slightly concerned that I won't be able to find an ATM that's open, because I mistakenly spent my last 100,000 yen bill ($100) on clothes when I thought I had another in my wallet. I basically have $25 in Japanese currency on me now to last till Monday, worst case. If I can't get more cash, I won't be able to take the day trip and I'll have to stay in Nagoya once more. That would suck because I've done about everything touristy that's possible to do here, and then some.
