Day 1: Welcome to Japan!

We made it!

We left SFO at 11AM on Sunday and after 11 hours of travel we landed at Narita – 2PM on Monday.  Time travel!  But seriously, I’ve almost been up for 24 hours.  I’m kind of delirious but forcing myself to write this in the hopes of getting over my jet lag!

The best part about the flight? Well, 2 things actually/

1.  Now You See Me – totally entertaining movie about magicians
2.  Open middle seat.  Need I say more?  It’s business class for the regular people!

Travel Top #1: When traveling with someone else, reserve the window and the aisle.  If you’re lucky, the middle will stay open.  Worst case scenario? You either have aisle/middle or middile/window – no worse off than you would have been.

I’m completely confused by the toilets.  See all those buttons?  Not one of them flushes the toilet.  I’ve never spent so long trying to figure it out!  And I’ve already had to ask someone how to work a sink!  You think I’m joking.  I sat in the restroom at the restaurant with soap already in my hand tapping/twisting/touching the faucet.  Nothing.  It’s really embarrassing.  When I asked for help, the waiter laughed, which I took to mean that I was not the first person to have this problem.  At least, that’s what I’m telling myself.

are REALLY good at the whole “stand on one side/pass on the other.”  Like scary good.  It’s awesome.

Off to bed!
