Japan Trip Report (Arrival)

Arriving in Japan
The flight was smooth but I didn’t get much sleep at all. The service was good, the food was OK for aeroplane food. The flight wasn’t full, so my mom and I took three seats to ourselves. I sat at the window seat and my mom sat at the aisle seat while the middle seat was left vacant.

Being not able to sleep, I decided to watch some movies. I saw Cars, Just My Luck and a bit of Memoir of Matsuko (not Memoir of a Geisha). The third movie was a Japanese movie. It was a bit of a strange story. It was about a popular teacher became a crazy woman and how we could learn from her experience. I didn’t see the beginning and after I saw the ending, I couldn’t care less about the beginning.

We arrived at Narita airport at about 6:42pm local time. It took us an hour to pass through immigration and customs. When we finally made it, we bought tickets to the shuttle bus to our hotel. Before we left Narita airport, we bought our first dinner in Japan at the airport. My mom had a tuna crossaint and I had a German hotdog roll. It wasn’t an exciting Japanese dinner but it was nice. I prefer this than Aussie sausages.

The ride was an hour long. By then, I hadn’t slept for nearly 20 hours. I was sleepy, grouchy and groggy. I took a quick shower and went straight to bed even there were anime showing on TV. I was too tired to care.
