Journey there

FRANCE

We just sat three hours in a plain. We’re now in Paris’ Airport, Charles de Gaulle. Boarding will begin any minute now. ANTICIPATION MUCH? I love being aboard on a plain and I get like HUGE kicks every time one takes flight 8)

Our plain from Helsinki was on time and our one to Narita (Tokyo) seems to be also. So no problem until now –our only worry at the moment is our luggage and whether it’ll end up in Tokyo or in Egypt.

It’ll be a lot of fun sitting in the same spot with the same crying babies around in an altitude of 10 000 metres for the next 12 hours.... Well, really, I don’t think it’ll be that bad, last time was fun atleast! We’ll be asleep for most of it anyway.

It’s so weird, I’m continuously like “Where did all the blonds go?” In Finland they’re EVERYWHERE. Here, we’re practically the only ones XD haven’t yet seen any beside us o__o

TOKYO

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand we have arrived in TOKYO, City of Destiny! The flight was longer and more uncomfortable than I remembered it to be and well. I have to say this. We went to Paris for nothing. NOTHING.

Imagine this. You’re in a plane, have been for over two hours. Before that you were on another flight, duration about three hours total. There you are, watching some stupid movie or whatever you enjoy doing in a contained space with a hundred other uninteresting passengers. Suddenly you decide to see the travel map which tells you where you are at the moment. And you are about 100 away from WHERE YOU STARTED EIGHT HOURS AGO.

Yeah, fuck me. Or us, rather.

So there went that morning and our journey could’ve been just that much shorter. But we flew over Mäntsälä, so everything is fine!

It took about an hour to realize the utter waste we had spent our morning. Well, not realize, but diss it and our decisions. Another hour went to Mäntsälä feat. Sininen ja Valkoinen!

But now we are in Tokyo, in a bus to be accurate, going from Narita to Haneda and we have all our luggage and even though we’re shit-tired (and its about seven in the morning here) and worn out –all is good. Because in under six hours we’ll probably be at Nagasaki Kagamiya and happyhappy (~n__n)/

NAGASAKI

We're here. After about 25 hours. And it's hard to stay awake. But we will! And we're off to go to 7eleven or some shop like that.

+I'll hurt someone someone if I don't get my computer's akkupiuha to WORK. It won't fit the adapter and RAAR. I is mad.

Flight tickets!

We bought out flight tickets with Mia 20th of May 2010 from Ebookers. The total cost was 1643,82€; à 821,91€. The route there is actually pretty horrible: we're departing from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport at 7:35 a.m. and arrive to Charles de Gaulle at 9:40. In Paris we have to change terminals, but we have about an hour and 50 minutes to do this so it's probably going to be fine. The flight to Tokyo leaves at 11:30 local time, and we arrive to Tokyo, Narita Airport at about 6:30 local time. So far so good.

BUT THEN.

We have to change airports. Blow me.

So we run through the security checks (which are SOMEWHAT STRICTER than in most countries. I mean come on, fingerprints?), get our luggage and then try to quickly find the place where the bus to Haneda (Tokyo, domestic flights) leaves. We have a bit over four hours for this so and we (and hopefully also Ebookers) made out it's enough. From Haneda the plane leaves at 10:50 towards Nagasaki, where we should arrive by 12:40.

The whole journey takes a grand total of 23 hours and 5 minutes. IF the planes are all on time.

The way back to Finland will thankfully be a lot easier, as we travel to Tokyo during our 2 months' travel and we just have to board a plain in Tokyo and switch in Amsterdam.
