Ramblings from Japan...

So after no sleep on last night's flight...I've been wandering around Narita all day... I think the delirium is starting to set in...

I had about 9 hours to kill before my flight to Toronto...and since it's about 12 degrees celcius and I'm wearing flipflops, I ended up going to a mall. As I was walking down some stairs, this very old man starts walking with me. He's talking a mile a minute and I can't understand a word. So I take a guess and answer him with "Canada"...Well doesn't he start chanting "Canada" and then starts kissing my hand over and over...just weird...

Then I go into the washrooms here at the airport. We've been used to the porcelain bowls in the ground in Vietnam but I was still a bit surprised to see it here in Tokyo. So I decide to check out door number two to see if it's any better. Well isn't there a nice toilet in there with all kinds of buttons...So down I sit, and find that it's a heated seat?? So I start checking out the other buttons...there's one for a bidet (didn't try that one) and one that says strong deodorizer. (didn't need that one) Then there's one that says music and the music is of a flushing toilet...I don't get it?? It's a toilet...why play music when you could just flush it if you want that sound??

So how's your day going?
