Day 1: Japan

Morning 2+ hour flight to Osaka, Japan.

What a remarkably clear day to have a window seat. A flight attendant spoke to me in Mandarin, and then in French, asking me if I spoke the language. When I was in Beijing someone spoke to me in French as well.



From the airport in Kansai I took an express train to the Osaka Shinkansen (bullet train) station. I caught the Nozomi Shinkansen to Tokyo, which took over two hours.





Chihiro met me at Shin-Yokohama station and we ate curry at a nearby restaurant.


I had hoped to do something that night, but it didn't happen. Rest may in fact be a good thing though.

Every time I make curry I think of Cheerio!
