In the Narita International Airport

After checking out of the dorm and loading onto the bus at 12, I was worried that we might be cutting it a little close time-wise, since my flight is at 4 PM, and it takes about 2 hours to drive from Waseda to Narita (since downtown Tokyo is in a constant state of rush hour). The drive, however only took about 1 hour, 45 minutes and I didn't have to wait in any lines at all to check in or to get through security. I wasn't expecting the massive international airport to be the least crowded place I've visited so far in Japan.

I did end up paying an extra $50 since one of my checked bags was too heavy. I didn't want to stress out about what to keep and what to dump on the spot, so I said screw it and paid for the convenience. (and to keep my pillow)

So I still have a half an hour to kill until my flight boards, even after getting on this 100 yen for 10 minutes terminal to check my Facebook and E-mail and write this blog post.

Glad to be coming home, but I still have a long journey ahead of me...
