OK, now I'm messed up
OK, now I'm messed up. I don't know what day it is! We crossed the international date line, and we gain a day?
My first international flight … and I didn't even get to fly first class! I was hoping for an in-flight movie and some peanuts, but no such luck. Just me and my dry ice. But I did have more time to practice my Japanese. I'll look really slick when I show off to my new friends.
I wonder what Japan will be like. I've heard so much, like people take their shoes off when they enter a building. I guess I'm in luck since I don't wear shoes. And the food is totally different – they eat with chopsticks instead of forks. I'm a little freaked out by the idea of sushi (raw fish!!!), but everyone says its cool.
It was really foggy flying into Tokyo's Narita Airport. We circled for a while, but when our fuel was getting low, the pilot made a bee line for the Haneda airport nearby. He refueled and then we flew back.
Since I was the first in, I thought I'd be the last one out. But they popped open the nose of the plane, and I was first out! FIFO – cool! And there were my Japanese hosts to greet me! Omeni kakarete ureshii desu!
I should have slept more on the plane. I'm tired, but there's so much to do. Can I have a nap?
