Day One
My first day went pretty well. I woke early twice (1:20 am and 4:30 am) and then finally about half hour before my alarm. So yea I am not adjusted to the time yet or maybe it was due to my inability to work the Japanese labelled AC system so I was near ...

Running like a Gaijin
... the "stamp" all along? This is only one of a million examples of Japanese bureaucracy that exists. Not surprisingly arrival into Japan must always be treated like a game...usually against the clock. Aided by the memory of long processing times for ...

Narita Airport, Japan
While it's actually only been 3 hours since I last wrote, it's now the next day in the mid-afternoon. Isn't modern technology fabulous? I'm going to try and pretend that it's not 11:30 p.m. Boise time. Fortunately I slept a lot of the day (or was that ...

A long walk and a drinking fountain toilet
Nice long walk was refreshing, but the highlight of Narita must have been the toilet. Apparently, some clever designer has installed drinking fountains directly in the commode. This is nice. Sit, down, do you business, push a button, and ...
