I seem to be anti-adjusting to the time here.

When you travel to Japan from the US, jetlag tends to make you wake up extra early. That’s one of the reasons Tsukiji Fish Market is in all the travel guides—it’s one of the few things to do before 10 am in this city.

So when I woke at 5:30 on Monday I was expecting it. But yesterday I got up at 5 and here I am, writing this at 4:06 in the morning—50 minutes after I woke up.

I’d hoped to go back to sleep, but my brain is working and sleep’s not going to happen. I think I’ll make some coffee now. And take a nap this afternoon.
