I skipped Sunday. Hehe.

I made it to Japan!! It's so hot here. I have the air conditioning on in my room all the time (I hope that doesn't affect the energy bill!!).

Also I've lost a whole day of my life. Poof, gone. It's weird.

Here's random musings I wrote down while in transit:

Bahaha! My trip is starting off so well. I must be more tired than I realize cuz I almost went into the men's restroom at Vancouver Airport. I was starting to go through the little curvy hallway into the restroom when I saw a man coming out. I quickly turned around and briskly (but also trying to be subtle) walked straight to the women's side. Awkward!! On another note, Vancouver Airport is super nice.

It's kinda funny how I asked to change to a window seat, and I got a wall. The window is about a foot ahead, all but covered by the seat in front of me. Oh well, it's not the window I wanted anyway, but something to lean against, so it doesn't matter.

There was a couple in the row ahead of me that was interesting to listen to. The husband is American and the wife Japanese, with two young adorable daughters. The husband spoke in English and the wife replied in Japanese, and that's just how they talk to each other. It was pretty awesome to see. I kinda want something like that.

Individual touch-screen TVs!!! And there's so many of the movies I've been wanting to see, the flight isn't long enough for them all. I don't think I'll want to get off the plane! Until I get a headache that is... (And yes, I'm sure that at the end of 9 hours I will actually be happy to get off the plane).

The meal came with a mini water bottle that has totally rocked my world. I love having a little water bottle that will fit in my purse or bag, but the kind I've found are ones that you're not supposed to re-fill cuz of the toxins in the bottle. But this one is completely re-usable, and even dish-washer safe! And best of all, it's complimentary so I got it for free!!! Happy~~~

You know how the attendants and pilots make announcements during flights and interrupt the movie you're watching? Well, not only you have to quickly yank out your headphones to keep their voiced from blowing out your eardrums (because for some reason the volume is set ridiculously higher than what your listening to), but the thing about Air Canada flights to Japan is that they make each announcement in three different languages: English, Japanese, and French. And can't do all of them in one go either. No, they have to make each one ten seconds apart, just enough time for your movie to start up again and put earbuds back in, when you have to suddenly pull them off again for French or Japanese. And the announcements are long. Brilliant.

Well, after being awake for 25 hours (expect for about 2 hours of sleep on the plane) and 12 of those in transit, I'm here in Japan at my host-family's house, well rested and severely needing to unpack. Check my facebook for pictures of the house :)

Internet is sparse here (there's no WiFi so I have to come down to the dining room if I want to use the internet) so until I get a cell phone I probably won't be online much.

I'll update more later!
