gosh, i love my bike. just feel so free. easy to get around, free parking, and i don’t have to depend on a ride to the airport. with my travel ways, nothing is guarantee so taking the bike is the best. strapped on my suitcase for the first time and luckily it didn’t fall off. i told myself to drive slow but that didn’t work. i don’t know what slow is.

after the plane crash in germany, i realized that there is nothing you can do. if it’s your time, it’s your time. so boarding the airplane, i just told myself “enjoy the ride because this one could be your last.”

i put on my headphones and ended up sleeping for 6 hours. the longest i slept on a flight. so when i landed, i felt so fresh, so energetic, and so happy!

then i walk up to the immigrant and seen this!!! omg!!! i thought there was a Arashi concert or something!!! 1000 chinese and korean tourists waiting in the longest line i’ve ever seen. i’ve been coming to japan for the past 25 years about 300 times through every airport and never had to wait over 40 minutes. i was standing for over 2 hours!

and to make things worst, this tourist behind me kept on pushing and pushing me. i looked back a few times and told him “hey, relax!” but he kept on kicking my feet and his bag hitting my back. after 1 hour of that, i looked back and yelled and said “fricken relax!!” then he backed off. i felt bad after for letting that stress get to me. i hate waiting. haha.
