Don't know why I'm so nervous. Oh god I hope they don't think I'm a terrorist or anything.

HEY FBI! Both of my computers are just computers! ~~The hard drive on the other hand~~

Minneapolis to Tokyo! Yeah, my reaction exactly.

Part of me thinks that I'm just doing all this walking because I'll be sitting for so long. Maybe the tiredness is going to my head? After only 2 hours of sleep I thought I'd be more tired and just sleep on the plane. Guess not.

Hilarious. AT&T told me to just tear the SIM out of my phone once I land, otherwise they were going to rip me off for just about anything I do. Nice to know that they're honest about it.

39,000 yen really doesn't get very far. After the train from the airport to Tokyo and my hotel for two nights and my train to Hiroshima, I'm not going to have much left right then. Oh sweet 50,000 yen stipend cannot come soon enough!

Flying to Hiroshima looks like about 30,000 yen. The bullet train is about 18,000 yen and about 5 hours. Still, the Nozomi Shinkansen, the fastest one, is less than 1000 yen more expensive than the Hikari Shinkansen. Go for the gold I say!

Oh my this backpack is so heavy. I still haven't eaten breakfast yet, just a fistful of vitamins.

Boarding in 40 minutes for Minneapolis. Better go find some water.

Well, you're probably somewheres over the Pacific by now, but I wish you the best of luck. Hope you have a great time in Hiroshima! Please post lots of pix for us!

EDIT: Actually it seems you're probably boarding right now.

Yeah, haven't even left Raleigh yet. I also started a blog that I'll link to once I get some content (read: pictures). Until then, more nonsense.

Cookies, breakfast of champions eh Vic?

I should probably actually take a picture of myself at the airport, dunno why.

It is a tradition among my people to eat vitamins and cookies before embarking on a trip to east Asia. So I'd say you're off to a fine start.

Hope you have a good time Vic, also my suggestion for airport breakfast is a package of twlizers and a bottle of coca-cola, perfect for handling them munchy urges.

Gogo Vic \o/ I'm looking forward to hearing your first time experiences, as I remember how amusing everything there was for me. The food, man. THE FOOD. I wish I could go to a gas station and pick up oden, onigiri, and milk tea alll the time.

And sweet, now I have someone else I can visit if I go to Japan again. :3

Would you mind too terribly swinging by Yokohama some point, stopping at the largest crab export company in the city, and dropping off a single red rose for a girl named Maya? Thanks.

Ah so you finally going Vic (or already going). Have a save trip and keep us wannabees up to date.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #21 on:** September 04, 2010, 06:09:07 PM »

Just touched down in Minneapolis. Flew out here in a little puddle jumper and my backpack didn't fit under the seat, so they out it under the plane. Only grabbed a book, but managed to power through it.

First time in an exit row, fucking horrible seats. I hunger!

Tengukami · « **Reply #22 on:** September 04, 2010, 06:10:09 PM »

Fashion a snare out of reeds and grasses and trap some duck outside the airport.

Alice★f · « **Reply #23 on:** September 04, 2010, 06:24:11 PM »

Have fun! Are you going with anyone?

Also, damn, Comket's over.
Do take a lot of pictures! I'm interested to read and look at what you got once you come back!

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2010, 06:29:28 PM »

I found out my connecting gate and immediately forgot it. Where is a monitor.

Whoa, signs in Japanese!? Maybe the Tokyo flight isn't that weird? Still, I can see Honolulu but Minneapolis? Crazy.

Where is a monitor? Where is the Mall if America? Why is it in Minnesota? Where is Minneapolis? WHERE IS A MONITOR!?

Oh, here. Terminal G? Where the hell is that? I only see A-E, not even an F.

Upstairs to get there? OK, guess it's a tram. No, it's moving sidewalks.

Wait, there's another concourse? Icelandair? All the way out here!?

MINNEAPOLIS!!! :argh:

Minneapolis was a Northwest hub before they got eaten by Delta, IIRC. I think they do a lot of flights to Japan. I know Memphis is the same way, the first time I went through there I was definitely

at the signage.

Expect 2 hours of this shit.

Where is a directory? There has to be a sub place here besides Quiznos.

And now there's a Hugo Boss right here. Expensive airport)ry

Short side-rail history lesson: in the 1880s, many Icelanders migrated to western Canada, and the plains states of the US. Minnesota probably has more Icelanders than Iceland.

From the sound of things, it sounds like Vic already did. :V Or he's just giddy from excitement. Probably the latter.
