OMG!!! I am in Asia!!!
May. 22nd, 2008 11:18 pmSo, I had 20 hours of travel time leaving my house at 6:30 am on Wednesday and getting here at 10:00 pm on Thursday. The funny thing is that since I was flying west the sun didn't set until I got to Japan.
My first flight was good. I sat next to a cute boy that ruined his cuteness by talking and so I read my book. LAX is a sucky airport which has no where to wonder around so I called lots of people to talk until I remembered that one of my friends is still in school and took his last final today so I could chat with him for like an hour.
The flight from LAX to Toyko was long but there was no one in the middle seat (actually there was no one in the row with me but someone moved up, I was fine with that). I thought it was 9 hours but really it was 11 hours and I finally realized that my best bet against jet lag was just to stay up the whole time. I did take a little nap because I wasn't that interested in the movie, too bad they didn't have the little personal movie players. The Toyko airport is set up a lot like London Gatewick so at least I was able to get a good hour of walking in because I needed it. Then I watched sumo wresting on the TV. Also, the toliets were so complicated they had instructions (This was the only picture I took today).
The flight from Tokyo to Seoul was easy, only two hours long. However, we had personal movie players and was served this really cute bento box that had this sushi like wrap thing. It was good. Customs was easy, my bags made it and Serinia, Sun and her family picked me up. I am staying at their place until Monday and then we are moving to a youth hostel or a hotel (I think that will make Sun less stressed).
I think this is the furthest I have been away from Minneasota, it is an odd feeling. I haven't seen much yet but a lot was in English and the freeway looks just like any freeway.
