Flight Home

I got up a little after SEK and that was around 10am. She thought that it would take 1.5 hours for me to get to the airport. I had to finish packing, but that was really quick. Then we headed to central station by tram. I didn’t like the attitude from the conductor. I feel the people work in the service sector suck. They have all been fairly rude and unwelcoming. That put a damper on the week.

Soon after that I was off to the airport. I had bought more souvenirs there on 2 separate occasions. I kept on forgetting who I had gifts for. I don’t like the way of checking in at the airport either. Once you went through the metal detectors, you’d have to wait in the waiting room. You couldn’t go shopping or anything.

I got on the airplane and was relieved that I would be heading back to Tokyo. It was a really long flight from Amsterdam to Hong Kong. The flight time was 10 hours and 30 minutes. I ended up at a window seat and the person next to me moved to another seat since the flight was fairly empty. I watched underworld, underworld evolution (twice), match point, Linda Linda Linda, a little bit of Brokeback mountain. The problem I had was that I couldn’t sleep on the flight. I did get some pretty awesome views at night and sunrise. I was very dehydrated during the flight and probably had 8 cups of water plus a water bottle. I also had to go to the bathroom a lot.
