Alright, I'm off to the airport in about one hour.
Still haven't mastered the "posting on the go" thingy so the TR will be done in two weeks (and some)!

Oh come on, if I can do it on my deathbed, you will do it easy.

How do you post all the pics? Do they need to be resized or something?
Last time I tried it just died on me....

Edit, I'm actually posting everything on a computer! Not handy when it comes to phones....

My last TR I had real problems posting pics and had to resize them.
This recent one it was all easy and didn’t require anything.

Right, let's see what I can do.
But honestly, I don't think posting on the go would do it justice....maybe some kind of a diary and then the proper TR when I get back!

You do you.
I’m sure it will be great regardless.

Success! Luggage tag all the way to Narita.
Chilling in The House now.

 

[rbjhan]

Speaking of The House. I can confirm it's one of two lounges for CI passengers.

Yeah nah, I don't know what the problem is but can't upload pictures.

Sorry @Justinf
But it's not happening for me!

 

[rbjhan]

In-flight WiFi is quite rubbish I'm afraid....

 

[rbjhan]

Extra points for the ground service though. Initially they were able to through check the luggage, but no luck with BP.
N problem I said, I'll try the transfer desk in TPE.
But later they paged me to hand over the BP! Happy happy.

 

[rbjhan]

Landed in TPE.
Skytrain to T1, CX lounge is very nice.
Only downside, no shower. Luckily I knew that... Went to the free public shower next door.
Now I'm clean and fresh, eating beef noodle soup

When I’m travelling, I’m so tired by the end of the day with all the things I’m doing that I can’t even keep up with what’s being posted on AFF let alone posting my own photos and trip report

I know how that feels!

 

[rbjhan]

Landed @5pm.
Walked 10 mins to immigration, waited for about 5 mins as the guy in front of me seemed to not had prefilled. Then my turn, 2 mins maybe? This is JTTP.
Custom took about 10 mins.
I was out at 5:30.

So far the Airalo esim is working great, if anyone wants to know....
They use KDDI.

I've been a Vodafone user for years, finally ditch them last year so no more roaming.

Are you perhaps using a pixel phone? AFF and pixel device images have problems.

Mistery solved! pixel 8 pro here.

No solution though it seems....

Yeh there's no easy solution, my p7pro has the same problem. I have to crop or edit the photo to post here and i get lazy. I suspect it's something to do with the pixel photos storing extra data in the photo it takes directly (you get that 0.5s preview).

Anyhow hope you're now eating a delicious Japanese meal.

Went to a teishoku place since I was starving.....Too bad you guys won't see it! Not now anyways....

How much daily data do you typically use, rb? I'm trying to get a handle on how big an esim to buy and am not sure how my use here versus on the road would stack up.
