Today is my last full day in Japan.
Aaagghhh I'm not ready to go home!

I'm never ready to go home, no matter how long I stay there.

Haha only as a tourist. Live there a few years and that might change the perspective as you see the ugly side of Japanese social norms.

Yes I'm sure that is a very real issue.

Oh I have no intention of ever living there precisely....

SQ uses JAL Sakura lounge in KIX.
Damn it is FULL.
I do like their signature curry though.

That's interesting, no NH lounge?

Not sure if you are familiar with KIX.
But basically JAL & ANA each is at one end of the terminal. SQ happens to depart from the JAL end....It would be a nightmare for people to go from the ANA lounge to gates, involving two trains....
More out of practicality I guess...

45 mins + before the seat belt sign is off. ..I see we are doing the SQ new usual again!

It's been 2 hours, so far I had satay and that's it.
Let me add that the flight is not bumpy at all.

 

[rbjhan]

Landed!
Very fast today, got onto uber in about 30 mins!
