Going to Japan

0430 Wake up. Check phone obsessively. Fall back asleep.

0600 Wake up. Shower and wash hair. Throw towels into washing machine. Go back to bed.

0700 Snooze alarm.

0720 Actually get up. Pack a bag. Regret last night's beers.

0840 Ahhhh running late. Where is toothbrush case? What style outlet does Japan use. Eff it, toss converter into duffel.

0850. Coat. Out. Kimbap and coke zero from the nonstop. Bus.

0925 Arrive bus station. Successfully obtain paper copy of ticket previously purchased online. Feel like a winner. Wander around.

1008 The airport bus is three minutes late and the natives are growing restless.

1012 Board bus. It's called the airport limousine and it has plush seats with leg rests and lumbar support. Pretty awesome for 24 bucks.

1130 Wake up. Realize neck pillow is in my duffel under the bus. Boo.

1200 Rest stop. Get really excited about there being liquid soap in the bathroom. Get back to the bus to discover that all the women left their purses unsupervised on a bus with its door wide open. Korea, man.

1209 Am 99% sure that I am back on the correct bus.

1300 Arrive to the airport. Read a bit.

1400 Check in. Security and passport control. Many knowing smiles and comments of , "English teacher?" Ride the swanky shuttle to my terminal.

1500 Dokk for lunch. Yum.

1545 Flight still not boarding. Break down and spend five bucks on an orange mocha frappuccino esque drink.

1600 Boarding time pushed back to the oddly specific 1628. The natives, again, grow restless.

1629 Boarding begins.

1640 In my seat. Yay for efficiency! Off to country number 37!
