So I know this is a few days late, but I need to finish up my blog. Last place i left off was at the Lub D hostel in Bangkok. I decided to stay up the rest of the night so i didn't oversleep and miss my flight back home. So a lot of internet surfing and hanging out with new people was on my agenda. I decided that drinking anything would not be a good thing, so I was dry and sober for the night, plus all of the people that we had been hanging out for the previous few days were gone, so that was a positive for me to not drink for the night.
About 4:00 I had all my things packed and ready to go. I already scheduled a Cab to be called for me, so when i got downstairs, to my surprise, they had a cab ready for me. Luckily, two girls were leaving for the airport at the same time, so we split the cab fare. We negotiated a fare of 400 baht and he paid the tolls. So between the 3 of us, it was about 13 dollars. They were headed back to Singapore, and were asking about my travels on the 30 min. taxi ride to the airport.
At the airport, I decided to buy a book incase i wanted to read on the flight home. I found a pretty cool book about health and how important the brain is in health and how it can be used to develop new nerve pathways to help certain ailments. Enough about the book. I think i had to go through about 3 security checkpoints before I reached the gate. I had about an hour and tried to read while i was waiting. No go, i was too tired and couldn't focus. So we finally got on the plane and headed out to Tokyo. It was a 6 hour flight, luckily everyone had their own TV screen, so i was able to choose what movies i wanted to watch. The girl next to me was from chicago and slept the entire way except for the last 1/2 hour. That is when i found out about her travels and what not.
Now in Tokyo, had to go through ANOTHER round of security and at the gate. There is a sushi place just across from our gate and i decided to get some sushi while i am in JAPAN. It was crazy good and i got a bottle of Hot Sake, which was a very good way to finish up the meal. So there i was just waiting for the plane to get ready to go.
