Nippon

Help! Everything is in Japanese! (Including Blogger.com...hope this entry actually posts, b/c I have no idea what button I'm clicking on.) After about 20 hours of travel and connecting, I'm in Tokyo, awaiting my flight to Taipei. So far, my flights to Washington-Dulles and Tokyo Narita have been ahead of schedule, which is pretty unusual. The flight around the world was relatively bearable, compared to my past experiences, but I still feel like crap...apparently Simply Sleep isn't going to cut it, so I might abuse my connections when I'm in Taiwan and get my uncle to write me an Ambien prescription.

One thing--I had forgotten how bad airplane food is...ugh. Good thing I stocked up on Trader Joe's trail mix and Cliff Nectar Bars. Interestingly enough, the guy sitting next to me on the plane was a UNC alum living in China with this wife and four kids. Crazy.

For now, I've got about 2 hours until we board for Taipei, but I'll have more when I get to the motherland. xx
