I made it to Japan with no mishaps.

A long flight, but almost completely empty! I’ve never seen a plane so empty and the flight attendant I talked to said she hadn’t either except maybe 15 years ago on a New Years eve or something.

The good thing is that we got great service and lots of extra food and drink After 3 movies and sleeping and some studying… we finally arrived and I was in the land of the rising sun.

I flew right through immigration and customs, then had the challenge of finding the right Japan Rail line to take to my hostel for the night. I asked directions once, found the right place, then a friendly Japanese woman helped me to figure out how to buy the ticket and which actual train to get on. Everyone I’ve met is so polite and friendly.

Once at the hostel, I relaxed, went out to grab some dinner, and was in bed by 9pm as my body was freaking out with the time difference.
