flying into tomorrow

so, you know, just hanging out in narita/Tokyo airport, off of a surprisingly smooth 12 hour flight from Chicago. it’s 3:27 am indy time, 4:27 pm Tokyo time.

connecting to the internet…excellent. what’s the exchange rate for yen? 500 yen = ? USD?

i really appreciated having 12 hours to not have to make conversation with anyone. to sit and think and watch bad movies and fly into tomorrow and remark that –59 degrees Fahrenheit is –51 degrees Celsius.

and did you know mainland China is the People’s Republic of China? the Republic of China is Taiwan, China’s sworn enemy.

things you learn on an international flight. i wonder if this qualifies as going around the world. not yet, really.

this is about as good as it gets, currently.
