Holy Shit this plane is huge. Japanese people are beautiful. How long until this plane starts to stink? How many people are on this thing, millions of $ worth? Hmmm what if I "accidentally" wander upstairs. We Americans ask a lot of foreign travellers.... mass confusion on seats ABC, DEFG, HJK. Bangkok time requires I sleep for 8 hours immediately after take-off. We are fucked. Matt thinks I am crazy. Where are all these people going? I will either be positive or very, very naive about the length of this flight....... Oh and Asians are micro-phobic, what's with all the surgical masks?
Lay over in Japan. the Japanese follow the rules. there is no breaking them even if it is ridiculous. such as a tripod that is 1/2 inch longer than the carry-on rule. for real 1/2 inch? and we can't speak to each other because the poor man who is following the rules does not speak English and we do not speak Japanese. at one point he will no longer let us carry or touch our own tripod. it really is quite comical. and oh-so quiet. like deafening quiet so when we start to giggle and laugh out loud, he looks at us very strangely. now this is going to be interesting.
