Yes I'm back. I spent two weeks back in Bedford for the holidays, visiting some friends and celebrating christmas and new year. all in all I had a good time, i didnt do much except shop, visit the eye doctor, run errands, and meet a few friends. Kiyoe came to visit too. but thats another story. lets just say that she went over well with my family, and I think she really enjoyed herself.
what i want to discuss right now is my airline experiences. first... why is it that on a transcontinental flight, the last perswon that gets on the plane sits next to me? i thought i had it made... a free seat next to me to stretch my legs, but no. some fidgety smelly man decided to sit next to me. next time i need to take business class.
there was another guy though that really made me laugh though. Honest to goodness this is true. there was a middle aged asian man on the plane about 4 rows in front of me. we were a minute and a half from landing, the flight attendants were buckled up and seated ready to land... and the dude gets up and goes to the bathroom. um..... .....
... i was ready for us to pull back up. we were so close to landing. so the toilet actually flushed just after the wheels hit the ground. must have been a rough BM. i don't even want to think of the jolt he got when we touched down.
and last, but maybe the best... after i got my luggage and went through immigration and customs, i walked out to the main concourse to no less than 500 screaming girls. heh. yeah, i'm the man...
ok, ok. it wasnt me. and the real reason for the screaming wasnt a man either. It was the backstreet boys (yes, they are still around) that are performing the next couple days here in japan. they walked out the same door as i did about 10 seconds later. i fell to my knees in worship. i cried. i broke into song. and then i vomited on myself and ran away as fast as possible. i ran to the train ticket counter, bought my ticket for the express train and got out of there, because while i love japan, there are few things on earth more annoying than young Japanese girls screaming and weeping for a bunch of pretty boys.
ugh.
i'm actually stressed. I'm going to take a break. tomorrow's plan is to wake up early and head out to kusatsu onsen. this should be a relxing picturesque trip to an onsen that's outside and hopefully surrounded by snow. this is one of those things i can check off of my too do list before i head back in april.
how bout them horns? congrats. i'm out.
