Hii Everyone!
So finally Min is gonna write about what he did in Japan over winter break!
Day 1:
Although it's day 1 I guess it would really start with day 0 the night before.
The night before I left I had just woken up from a nap and went back to packing where I had left off. I had asked a friend of mine to take me to the airport in the morning at around 6am since my flight was going to be at 7:45am. He was hanging out with a friend of his and said he'll just come over afterwards. I continued to pack and made food since I got hungry. My friend came over soon after and we hung out for a bit until about 5:30am. He looked a bit sleepy so I asked him to take me then so he can just go home and sleep.
It's a good thing we left early because there was so much traffic at the airport! I've never seen so much traffic. It took us at least half an hour since we got off the freeway to get to the commuter terminal, where I was flying to Los Angeles and then from LAX to Japan! I checked in my suitcase and sat down by my gate (there's only one place to wait since there's only 2 gates) and I was texting with Angie! I got on the plane soon after and we took off for LA. When we arrived, I got off and had to take a shuttle to terminal 5 and from there I walked over to the international terminal (Tom Bradley International). Luckily there wasn't much wait so I got there and boarded right away. From there on, it was a 11 hour 30 minute ride to Narita Japan!
I emailed my cousin, who was picking me up at the airport when I arrived. I told him that I arrive at 3:10 ish so he should probably come by 4 (I figured airport security and baggage would take about that long). The flight was quite long but I passed the time going through movies and TV shows. We had actually arrived half an hour earlier than expected and now I was thinking 'I'm gonna have to wait a while until my cousin shows up' but luckily he got there early as well and he said he got there about 5 minutes before I got out! We got out of the airport and we drove back to Tokyo, where he lives.
We went to his apartment and I got to meet my aunt again (I haven't seen her in about 10 years) and we talked for a bit and I emailed Angie to let her know I arrived safely and was with my family now. We went out for dinner and it was cold outside! During dinner my cousin called his grandmother and we decided that the next day we are gonna go to Ibaraki to visit her and see my other cousin! After dinner we headed back to the apartment and I took a shower and went to bed.
Whew that sounds like a busy busy day! Poor Min can't sleep on the airplane either! : (
Well, until next time!
