Wheeheehee, exhausted.
Going through both airports was very easy in terms of checkpoints and stuff...didn't have any problems, didn't get pulled over because of any lists. So that was good. Much preferred the Narita airport to O'Hare for the simple fact that baggage trucks were complimentary rather than having a fee. So yeah...two-day-old blister on hand + humping luggage around = not good at all. And it's right where the top chopstick sits, too. T__T
Was in the middle of the middle row for the flight. Watched a kinda bittersweet Japanese movie called "10 promises I made to my dog" that illuminated once again the cultural differences in medical care, i.e. actually telling people about their horrible diseases. ("Dr. Saito, I felt it was necessary to tell your wife she has cancer." "You did what? She's so fragile!")
Hated hated hated the last twenty minutes of the flight. Thought my ears were going to explode into a bloody mess that would have been very difficult to get out of the upholstery and the tiny little pillows. Much worse than going up. Now know what Tom Petty was talking about.
On the bus to the hotel, saw many interesting things:
-v. pretty hot pink flowers of some sort were all over the place, am going to try to find out eventually what they actually are
-the bus had seat belts! omg safety!
-passed by Tokyo Disneyland. couldn't see much.
-There is a lot of water going through this city. Rivers and canals and whatnot. I like it. It's neat.
-Used-car lot under the down-ramp on the highway. Had no idea how they actually planned on getting sold cars out of the gridlock they were packed into.

And on a closing note, our hotel room toilet has a bedet. Go us.

1. I've heard that buses don't really need seatbelts if the seats are above the crashline. :O

2. I hate landings too. My plan of attack typically includes some combination of swallowing, chewing gum, and popping my ears. :D
