Dad and me bro drove me to the airport at about half past 10ish, got there at half 12, and check in doesnt open till half 1 D'OH >.< So after an hour of waiting i check in (and finally get rid of that blasted bag); only to spend 3 hours sitting in departures watching the news about michael jacksons death (sad story what a legend, no matter what they say he changed music forever). Got on the plane and OMG that 12 hour flight was just eugh, though the dinner was really nice, braised beef and steamed rice and this nice slightly sweet sauce, shrimp in a pink mayo sort of thing ive forgotten what its called now... and noodles. The breakfast was ok, spanish omelette, sausage, mushrooms (very japanese i know LOL). Watched some movies on there too piraes of the carribean, gran torino and jurassic park, played tetris and poker against a few other passengers. tried to sleep and failed, some how even though we had to travel through the night, it was always sunny... weird. Got to Narita about 12.15pm local time (im 8 hours ahead of y'all in the UK) filled in countless forms about how im not a terrorist and how i havent filled my bag with fags and makeup. Then the dreaded train journey through tokyo. from this experience, it wasnt bad, but i know how James May and Richard Hammond felt now haha, had to get a train from narita to nippori, then nippori to takadanobaba, then from there to tanashi, then a half hour walk, its now half 4 and im KNACKERED. well heres some pictures and stuff i took on my phone, ENJOY
(By the way to anyone who needs to know, you CAN call and text me, my phone does work here, im on NTT DoCoMo)
