Here I am in the great country of Japan (shame Ivana...) typing on an extremely hard to use keyboard... here let me show you...
But at least they provide you with instructions...
The trip here was mostly uneventful other than that I was sitting behind one of those people who finds it necessary to spend the whole trip with their seat reclined all the way. Eventually I had to tap him on the shoulder and ask him to put his seat up, which he did (thank goodness, or I would have gone mad). Does anyone know what is the accepted number of times you are allowed to call a flight attendant to ask for stuff? I called him twice, once for a cup of tea and once for water. Could have done with more tea though, I find it somehow helps combat that awful dry-nose feeling you get once you hit about 4 hours.

Lovely room but nothing to steal! All the shampoo etc are in bigger bottles so you feel bad stealing them. There were pyjamas but I'm afraid that if I steal that they might charge me for it. I forgot to take a pictue of my room, I'll take one later and put it up next time I post. But I did take a picture of this sign on my bedside table: 
Just what kind of massage service are we talking about here, hotel nikko narita??
Just what kind of massage service are we talking about here, hotel nikko narita??I thought breakfast was going to be included (will have to send a forceful email to my travel agent...) but it cost me only Y1000 which is about $15.56, and for that you get full buffet breakfast (wish I'd taken a photo of my breakfast). So I'm all full up now.
Last night when I was in the lift I met a really nice Irish girl called Lisa who was also in transit. Went to her room and talked for an hour or so. She was going home to Dublin after two and a half months in Australia. She's gonna facebook me.
Yay! I can have faith in my friend-making abilities.
Catching a shuttle to to the airport in half an hour, so I better log off soon. Just one more picture (and a question) before I go.
Riddle me this, Kiddliwinks. Why, in an aircraft where smoking is absolutely, completely banned at all times, is there an ashtray in the bathroom?
Hi Grace,
ReplyDeleteI think the reason there are ashtrays is in case the plane is used in a country where smoking on board is allowed - they don't have to figure out where to fit them.
I don't think there is an etiquette around how often to call the attendant but may be once every half hour would be a little over the top! Bear in mind that is what they are there for so unless they are busy serving a meal, hit that button.
Enjoy the next flight!
Love
Dad
I had better get cleaning if you are taking pictures of where you are staying!

I have wondered about those ash trays myself. I'm pretty sure that smoking is never allowed on air crafts these days but perhaps the door was made before those rules were in place.
