First Day in Japan

Posted March 13th, 2010 in Japan No Comments »

It was actually a good flight. I flew wth Malaysia Airline and had to transit at Kuala Lumpur (as there is no direct flight from Perth to Osaka). There were’nt many passangers on the plane from Perth to Kuala Lumpur, so I could chose my seat anywhere 🙂 It was comfortable, i watched 2 movies in a row 🙂 On the other hand, the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Osaka was full, so I had to sleep in the chosen seat with strangers next to me. Wellm overall it was a good flight.

I started to feel like I was already in Japan while on the plane from Kuala Lumpur, as there were so many Japanese people around me, and some of them were wearing maks and their own “airplane slippers”. I think wearing face masks in public is Japanese thing :p

My family picked me up from Kansai airport, and once I stepped out from the building I could feel cold air hitting my body, WOW it’s really cold! But, when we had a quick freeway pitstop in Shiga, I could feel the air was even colder. I couldn’t stand without a jacket, Shiiiiit… I thought it was little warmer (>0<) I only brought T-shirt. I will have to go shopping for some cloth tomorrow!

It was a really good day… except that I had to be in front of computer for hours trying to connect internet. I don’t know much about computer, expecially Windows 🙁 Anyway it is connected now somehow and I am writing this in my room.

Here is a photo of Kakino-ha Sushi (nigiri sushi wrapped in passimon leaves) that we picked up on the freeway pitstop. Kakino-ha Sushi is a speciality food of Nara prefecture.
