Yes we're all booked (28th of febr)! Not just me, but also two of my best friends that are joining me for the last 9 days, and we'll all fly back together!

After working and going in to the office for a goodbye party and a team meeting, I shut down my laptop around 12ish. Still had to do a few things before leaving but no more work for the next three weeks! I was at the station around 4pm and at the airport around 530pm. Train ride was very relaxing :-)! And check in was smooth (didn't work online) and so was security and customs. My check in bag was 10kg and that included my Indonesian language course study material, a reading book and a lot of bath salt!! I was allowed 2x23kg haha.

The first flight was to Shanghai and it left around 8pm. I had read that there weren't a lot of English movies on the entertainment system and so I had downloaded some stuff on my phone just in case. I was so tired though, that I mostly slept. I don't think I've ever slept this much on a flight but time went pretty fast! 

Arrived in Shanghai and because I had an internation transfer they put a sticker on my shirt. I remembered this from before and still think it's funny but eh it works. I proceeded to the next gate and had a few hours before my next flight. I walked around for a bit but was still tired so I found a quiet space with reclining chairs close to the gate. Everything that's 'Google' is blocked in China so I couldn't get on Whatsapp, Messenger or Google but I was able to play Wordfeud and watch some of my AmazonPrime downloads. I also watched live entertainment outside, these yellow taxi looking cars with letterboxes on top with the words Welcome to Shanghai that were followed by landing airplanes to their designated gates.

My second and final flight was from Shanghai to Fukuoka and lasted a few hours. It was delayed for about 25minutes but I hadn't noticed because I was already asleep minutes after I sat down 😅. It was a semi short nap and after that I just read a magazine until we landed.

Arrived in Japan (late in the evening)! I got the same stamp in my passport as my last time here, 5years ago, and he put it on the same page :-)! And of course, went to the toilet. They all have so many buttons here but I just use the Flush one. My bag arrived pretty quickly and I ordered an Uber to take me to the hotel. Once in the Uber, I looked outside and it finally hit me; I'm here, back in Japan, my 4th visit and the same city I landed in on my 2nd trip 10years ago! A sudden rush went through my body. And so another adventure begins.. but first, I took a bath and tried out the massager machine for my feet/leg and the massage pillow for your back. Oh and I love how everything is provided in the rooms, even nightwear/pyjamas!
