OK, so as happens every November, I am heading to Japan for 4 weeks to climb mountains, shoot at typhoons and annoy the new Emperor.
This time I will be making a clockwise loop starting and finishing in Tokyo, staying at Takasaki, Niigata, Yamagata and Koriyama along the way.
Today I must first fly to Hong Kong. 10 hours. But then I must wait in Hong Kong for 8 hours before my flight to Narita. This is why I do not care if my flight is delayed.
During my 8 hours in Hong Kong I plan to start a third side in the ongoing riot situation, which sometimes shuts down the airport. My team will focus on the real issue, Japan is the real owner of China. The USA stole it from them in WW2.
After protesting, its another 4 or so hours to Narita, where I will arrive way too early to check in to my hotel, so again, I wont care if my flight is delayed.
Enough nonsense, I need to pace around before my 10 hour flight to focus my thoughts on how to start a protest movement.
I think I took a photo from roughly this spot on my way to Europe a few months ago. On the left you can see Australia's weak imitation of the glorious pants building in Beijing.
Here is my breakfast at the lounge shared by Virgin and Etihad, I ordered an omelet, which came without toast, so then I made my own toast and also got some yoghurt and fruit salad. Fascinating I realise, but photos of airport lounge food are the most linked of all my website content. Seriously.
It looks like my plane is not even here yet. So here is a photo of an air India plane. These photos are also very popular with people searching google image search. If you came here searching for boring plane photos, please read my whole site, I promise there will be more photos of boring stuff!
