Today started with rain and ended with me stuck on a train
After the previous day, I was completely drained, so I let myself sleep in until 10 a.m. to recover some of that lost energy. Once I woke up, I slipped straight into my routine and focused on a few tasks—especially my blog posts. I couldn’t ignore them; consistency matters too much to me. So, until around noon, I stayed in my small room, working while listening to raindrops tapping steadily against something near the window.
At the same time, I was starting to feel properly hangry. The last real meal I had was on the airplane, and on my way to the room I hadn’t managed to find anything worth eating. Honestly, the night before I didn’t even feel that hungry—but morning had completely different plans for me.
When I finally wrapped everything up, I headed out for a walk. The weather had softened by then—around 15–17°C—and felt surprisingly comfortable. The rain had stopped, though the sun was still hiding behind thick clouds. Still, it was good enough. Good enough to finally step outside, start discovering the city, and—why not—try Japanese McDonald’s for the first time.
During the day, I wandered through the streets, letting myself discover whatever came along the way, and eventually made it to the Imperial Palace, which was not far from my room. Of course, getting inside wasn’t an option—tourists can only walk around the surrounding park areas, filled with sakura and other trees. But even just circling the grounds felt interesting and exciting in its own way, and it’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after the trip.
As I walked, I started noticing buildings made of stone and wood, designed in a way that felt both unique and intentional. They had decorative details that stood out quietly rather than loudly. Altogether, they carried a strong sense of history, like something preserved from another time. The streets themselves had a warm, almost calming atmosphere, and throughout the day I felt completely at ease just being there.
Later, when I decided to head back to grab my power bank—I was already running a bit late—I went down to Tokyo Metro Station and got on my train. And that’s when everything suddenly changed. The train stopped on the tracks, and for about an hour, all the passengers and I just waited. Nothing was clear. All the announcements were in Japanese, so I couldn’t understand what was going on. I tried asking another passenger how long it might last, but they didn’t know either. Meanwhile, announcements kept playing—both in the train and at the station—but for me, they were just sounds without meaning. It was one of those moments where you’re completely stuck, not just physically, but mentally too.
Today my morning started with rain and finished in a stuck train
After my previous day, I was very tired, so I decided to oversleep until 10 am and recover some energy that I lost during the day. Also, I was busy with my routine and other tasks, especially about my blog posts. I couldn't forget it because it's important and consistent. So until 12 pm I was busy in my small room and listened to how the raindrops pitted something near the window. I also was a bit hangry because I had the meal on the airplane last time, and during the trip to my room I didn't find anything. To be honest, I didn't want to eat so much during that time, but in the morning everything was to the contrary.
When I finished all my tasks and went for a walk, the weather was comfortable enough; the temperature was around 15-17 degrees. The rain stopped, but the sun didn't shine because the clouds still covered it. It already was good, and I could discover this city. Even though the weather was cloudy, I could begin my discovery and try Japanese McDonald's.
During the day I discovered streets on my way and visited the Imperial Palace that was located not so far from my room. Of course I couldn't get inside, so all tourists walk only around the park areas with sakura and other trees. Even if I just go around it, it's also interesting and exciting, and it can leave memories about my trip. But, during my walk, I noticed some buildings that were built of stone and wood. Those buildings used special, unique designs with decorative items. Overall, it's brought historical spirit since these days. Also, the streets were filled with a unique and warm atmosphere that brought only comfortable feelings during my whole day.
When I wanted to come back and grab my power bank because I was late, I went to Tokyo Metro Station and took my train, and then everything happened. The train just stopped on the lines, and during the whole hour some passengers and I just waited. There was nothing clear because everything was in Japanese. When I asked another passenger about how long it could continue, they also didn't know anything. But in the train and station, all the time something was notified; only I didn't understand.
