Yeah, so I landed in Tokyo on the 19th. My luggage, however, landed on the 21st. Since Japan Air Lines doesn’t go direct to Toronto, I had to take Air Canada to Vancouver first. AC screwed something up with my bags and JAL got to the bottom of it for me.
Speaking of bottoms… when I checked my luggage, I found my stuff was tossed around on the inside. The expensive stuff was all there but one of my boxers was missing… I’m in Japan!
Anyway, the five hour Air Canada flight was the most boring flight ever. I didn’t sleep at all the night before so I had already been awake for 24hours when I boarded the flight. I thought I would get some sleep on the plane but it was so uncomfy with no room to move. I tried getting out my laptop to watch a show I pre-downloaded for the flights but it was too big for the room I had!
What made it worse was that I was in the middle seat with two very un-fun women on either side of me. I was so tired that I didn’t even want to play my PSP or do some sudoku puzzles or anything! All I could do was eat my Twizzlers.
As soon as I landed in Vancouver, I felt better and relaxed. I couldn’t connect my laptop to the network but my 3G Android phone worked fine. The flight was delayed but I took that time to stretch and enjoy the space. When I got on the plane, I got an isle seat with nobody in the middle and some Japanese school girl at the window. I had room to stretch so I was happy… until I realized that there were no plugs for my laptop :(
So I was eating my Twizzlers on this nine hour flight and I still couldn’t sleep. I did some sudoku, ate some great food that they gave us, played some of their in-flight entertainment… and ate Twizzlers.
I think by the time I landed in Tokyo, I gained the 15lbs that I lost before the flight :(
Anyways, I don’t care! I’m in Japan, with our without my luggage but with my brother, Marcus, and new sister-in-law, Tomoko! And I’m freezing my butt off! Whatever, it is worth it! The weather is actually pretty nice out side when the sun is out. And the fact that it isn’t too windy is pretty great.
I have this Japanese-style room in M&T’s house which is pretty sweet. All that is missing is one of those table things with the blankets built in hehe. I don’t know what those are called…
Anyway, I’ll write more later!
