Out East

Well I’m off travelling again.  This time to Tokyo and Hong Kong with my parents, sister Su-Ming and her boyfriend Patrick.  Bit of a long haul with Cathy Pacfic from London to Hong Kong.  Took in Dan in Real Life, The Island, PS I love you, the last scene of Pulp Fiction with the coffee shop robbery  and Goodbye Grace.  Having been spoilt by Air New Zealand with the video on demand having to choose a chanel and wait for the film to start

Arriving at Tokyo airport getting through immigration took its time having my index fingers scanned and my picture taken.  Travelling from the airport to the centre of Tokyo we past plenty of paddy fields and even a windmill flying the Dutch flag; something that I didn’t expect to find out here.  We’ve had a bit of a wander from the station to the apartment we’re staying at.  It’s very strange being a far east country with very little writing in English and what appears to be very few foreigners after Hong Kong or Singapore.

After a day of travelling I’m fairly tired and looking foward to a shower and a decent night’s sleep.
