See
You Guys in March 2013
December 2, 2012 - A small
party with family and some of our closest friends in Japan
who came over to "say see you again (matane)" before we
headed off to America. It was really nice to see you guys.
See you again in March 2013 for another house party. |
On
the Train
December 6, 2012 -
Shai was excited as usual to be
on the train. This time we were traveling to Kansai
Airport on the way to Korea and then to San Diego,
California. We plan to stay for about three months,
during which time we are going to visit family and
friends and hang out in hopefully warm temperatures and
sunny days. It will be really nice to see everyone
again. Last time back home was almost exactly three years
ago. |
Korean
Airlines Airplane
December 6, 2012 -
This is a Korean Airlines airplane which is pretty basic
in color and overall design when you compare it with
planes from other airlines. The uniforms of the flight
attendants pretty much match this design and not
really much to look at. |
Waiting
at Starbucks
December 6, 2012 -
We hung out at Starbucks for awhile waiting to take the
shuttle to the departing gate. Next to Akiko is her
sister Maiko (Maichan) and her mom who wanted to go with us to
the airport. Look
at These Prices!!!!
Yeah even Shai could not believe the outrageous prices
and small sizes of drinks at Starbucks in Japan. This place
really fits the stereotype of Japan, the land of the
rising sun small and expensive. |
Airport
Shuttle
December 6, 2012 -
Um this was actually nothing special. An average shuttle
which took us from the main terminal to the boarding
gate. In retrospect not really even sure why I posted
this. |
Crazy Japanese Toilets
December 6, 2012 -
Watch out for those buttons!!!! If you press the wrong
one you might get washed in places you never knew
existed. If you really wanna laugh take a look at the
picture above and find the following:
FLUSHING SOUND
The flushing sound goes on for 25 seconds.
What does this mean? It means Japanese people are both
shy and conservationists.
When Japanese people use the toilet they often flush
several times while they do their duty, especially when
going number two. Why? To cover the sounds which often
uncontrollably come out when relieving oneself.
In an effort to conserve water and still protect the
privacy of the Japanese population, companies began
installing toilets which produce a toilet flushing
sound. Only in Japan. lol. |
Seated
in the Plane and Ready to Go
December 6, 2012 -
There we are in the plane and ready to take off for
Korea. Shai was really excited since the last time he was on
an airplane was three years before when he was only
three-and-a-half months old. |
