Hello cyber buddies. I’m in Narita International Airport right now, Tokyo. The freaking internet here is so bloody expensive. It’s one damn US dollar for a bloody short 10 minutes. Damn it! For an American buck I can use the internet back in Malaysia for almost 2 hours. Sweeet! Once I reach Chicago, I’ll blog about the trip. I hope they don’t bug me with a million questions when I arrive at Chicago’s O’Hare. Anyways, I’ll update this post later. Peace!
UPDATE: Wohooooo finally I reached Chicago. Now.. time to talk about the flight and the airport. Before I boarded from Malaysia, I requested the airlines to provide me with a halal Muslim meal. I got on board and all the stewardesses were like “oni gaishimas” and bowing. They were hot but unfortunately old. Talk about MILFs LOL. During the flight a stewardess came to my seat and she had to talk a little loud since the engine was roaring… “sir, you requested for a (and then in whispers) Muslim meal”. It’s as if she didn’t want to say the word “Muslim” loudly. I found it a little funny but it didn’t bother me. Surprisingly the stewardesses spoke English with a very clear American accent. It was easy to communicate with them. At the airport I had to wait a long 5 hours on transit. At Narita airport I saw sign boards that had funny broken English. One of them said “Down with Narita Airport”. Sounds like one of those anti American “down with America” slogans you hear being shouted in demonstrations in the Middle East. Anyways, I got on board my long boring and excrutiating flight to Chicago. Arrghhh… it was bad man. Don’t get me wrong… the service was excellent but the chairs were so small and didn’t fit my long legs. Plus there was Japanese woman next to me and she was snoring so loudly. I changed my seat after that and sat next to this American dude from Iowa. He was extremely friendly and I really enjoyed talking to him. He also warned me of carrying too many pirated discs. Too late. I had about 8 in my bag and so I started to worry since me gets very paranoid when it comes to these kinda situations. To be continued in about 12 hours.

Well, I would say “WELCOME TO AMERICA” but it’s a little too soon, I look forward to your next post to let us know what you think
It is about 1 Dinar in Tunisia for an hour
Hoping they won’t give you any trouble entering the states… but if they do, you’ll have more cool experiences to write about.
And my space bar is totally fucked. Bummer… i really need a new laptop!
Drima,
I sincerely hope you are not flying 3rd class. With the cramped seating its a brutual choice for long flights
Airports are not always charging much more than regular internet-cafe’s? Everywhere?
Have a good flight!
Tse.
well drima, good to hear from you and that you spend one buck for your blog heheh, it’s the airport man, what do you think? few cents..!!!… don’t worry, you will gain more in the US.. your brother’s place got internet and you can blog all night long. Now, about the part of you wondering whether they aare going to bug you with questions, I’m hoping that you don’t do that to them.. waiting to hear from you soon and hopping to hear from you soon.
So I take it the cops and the immigration didn’t cause you any trouble after all?
You had 5 hours in Tokyo and you didn’t go downtown? Maaaaaaaaaan… you MUST do it on the way back or something
Keep us posted!
raccoon,

Totally weird place, that. Good food though
Racoon,
thanks for the links. funny isn’t it how when most men travel one of the biggest things they focus on is the food lol. I know i do
Hey, an army (and a backpacker) marches on it’s stomach.
I remember places according to the food I had there. Seriously. Can rememeber meals I had 10 years ago in detail, even if I forget when my birthday is
when you’re flying - upon check in - ask for a front row seat to accommodate your height. my husband does this and we’ve been successful at getting good seats every time… since the flights back and forth from the states is a major pain.
