From Changi Airport to my Apartment in Japan

hmm ok haha i am thinking how i am supposed to describe the entire trip. its gonna be very long post.

lets see.

Changi Airport

ok first off its at changi airport. met my clique at 12 plus am to hang around all the way till 5 plus when i went into the gate. really thanks to them, i had such a warm eh fairwell. and we joked and laughed so much that i guess helps to makes me not nervous (which i think most pple are suppsoed to be nervous if it is the first time they are going overseas alone.

I took the Northwest airline btw. On the plane i decided not to play my psp to conserve the battery (even though i have 3 battries which can last a total of 10 hours) and i watched heartbreak kid plus i slpt the rest of the flight. the seat wasnt exactly the most comfortable seat so i didnt really sleep well also la.

Narita Airport

technically, i reached japan already. haha but i am just transiting. had to wait 5 hours at Narita before my next flight. i tot time was going to pass damn slow but good thing was it was a totally foreign place to me, and i did some exploring. after walking and browsing for 3-4 hours i think, i haven even cover more than half the air port -_- it is ridiculously huge. also with so many places to eat, i decided to eat mac donald haha. seriously, going overseas, seeing a mac donald really cheers me up damn alot. as i am travelling alone, i am pretty stressed and oh high alert most of the time so these kind of little things brought some joy haha.

Nagoya Airport

finally i reached nagoya airport. and here comes the toughest part of the entire day. which is to get to the bus stop and take the correct bus to the place where someone is going to pick me up -_- plus with so many luggage, the task is rather daunting. plus i not sure how cold it is outside so i also dont know how much to wear. was just observing people around me who are walking out and trying to gauge wat to wear haha.

anyway eventually i got to the bus and took a 1 and 30 hour bus ride. at this point of time, i am super duper shag le... it is almost 18 hours since i left changi airport... so i juz fell asleep on the bus without knowing it. by the time i reach the destination, i found a phone booth and called the yamasa personnel. eventually a guy picked me up together with a korean couple i think. and here comes the highlight of the day. the korean gal asked me if i am korean! haha. i wonder if thats a good thing lol

My Apartment
and the happiest moment is when i reach the apartment, Kelvin opened the door. i almost wanted to cry (ok la not so kua zhang. it is juz to desc how touched i am). that i am finally at my destination. eventually i ended my day with a long and cold walk to Macdonald to have dinner/supper at about midnite haha. i almost frost to death cos i never wear my long john inside. Kelvin more li hai. the first night when he arrived, there isnt any futon (those thick thick blanket) so he practically froze like mad that night and couldnt really sleep. poor kelvin. haha thanks to him i got the futon all ready =)

it has really been an interesting travelling alone, transiting alone, and trying to take a coach from airport to a city, meeting up with an unknown person. so ya. tired le haha. tml then i blog more i guess.
