My flight got canceled due to a severe weather.
I was still lucky to find a flight next day. The flight from Chicago to Tokyo is completely booked. Lots of young students. Maybe they are just going to Japan to start a new semester?
Interestingly, schools in Japan start on early April.
I could see Evanston and Northwestern university before landing to ORD. Such a beautiful day. I cannot believe there were huge thunderstorms a day before.
This shot is made when the plane flew over Anchorage. Again, a really beautiful day. I'd like to come and visit Alaska one day.
My bike case looked quite big. At the check in at the MBS airport, it appeared that the AA staffs were not quite sure whether the size of the case case would fit in the small plane. Its length is over 4 feet.
I had to check out the case and check in again at Tokyo Haneda airport. Now the case looked almost as tall as the staffs working there. It appeared that they never had seen such a large case. They also wanted to inspect the content. Anyway, the bike case was eventually eventually cleared.
Japanese people are well known for social order. It was easy to see that on an escalator. All people were lined up on the left side and made a room for those who could pass on the right hand side.
The plane was supposed to arrive at Tokushima airport at 7 pm, but I lost a connection flight at Haneda and it arrived at 9:30 pm. It was too late for dinner with Dr. Luxton who came to meet me at the airport. However, it was nice to see some bread, fruits, and snacks at the apartment. The apartment is quite spacious and modern.
Many things in Japan are small in size compared to US. However, I have not seen any bread in US as think as what you see here. The bread was quite good, close to those you can find in a fine bakery, not like those in US grocery stores.
