Jeremy > Above 37,000 feet, the air outside the plane is thin and cold. Japan is 13 hours ahead of the East Coast of the U.S.
Jeremy > Supper time. Course #1: Salad & soup.
Jeremy > Course #2: Beef. Oliver will have the chicken.
Jeremy > Course #4: Dessert.
Jeremy > About 5 hours after dinner, anyone awake on the plane is offered a mid-flight snack.
Jeremy > About an hour before landing, the lights are turned back on and breakfast is served. I opted for the omelet. Note that it is 3:20 a.m. in Detroit. When we get off the plane, it will be about 5:30 in the evening. Jetlag is real!
Jeremy > The gentleman behind us. I liked the light on his face, though sadly, I clipped it.
Jeremy > Nagoya has a new airport that is astonishingly efficient. From the plane it is a short walk through immigration and customs, then to the bank for currency exchange, and then quickly to the bus. By comparison, getting from Narita (Tokyo International Airport) to Tokyo can be a nightmare to the uninitiated.
Jeremy > The Japanese language includes 4 alphabets, 3 of which are not known to those who have learned only Germanic languages. Luckily, they almost always use standard numerals, so I am able to readily determine the price of things. That helps a lot. This bus ticket cost 3000 yen, which is about $32. It's a two-hour ride to Hamamatsu, where I'll be staying for 2 weeks.
