Day 4 : Tokyo to Edinburgh

Nothing exciting to report today. We sat on a train, sat at an airport, sat on a plane, sat in a different airport, sat on another plane, then met Berian (and sat around for 2 hours) at yet another airport.

Oh, and after losing Vegemite, toothpaste and sunscreen to the security people in Sydney, Owen today had his insect repellent taken when checking in at Tokyo.

So here’s some facts and figures

  • · We did go to Kiddy Land
  • · We did not go to Condomania
  • · We did go to Mister Donut
  • · We did not do karaoke
  • · We did go to the 100-yen (+5% tax) shop
  • · We did not go to Mos Burger
  • · We did have crepes
  • · I did “doozo” someone (at the 100-yen shop)

A 2-3 minute phone call to Berian on my mobile phone while waiting at Heathrow cost $8.91

We would also like to report that so far on the trip we have spent a total of 36:40 hours waiting (including travelling). And a total of 24:30 hours sleeping. Here’s hoping that ratio of waiting:waking-hours improves for the rest of the trip!!!

  1. nani? no karaoke? what happened? you better have a REAL good excuse... though I guess this means you can't be disappointed by SoundBox in Dickson! Hope the number of hours spent doing things other than waiting increases rapidly. Looking forward to pics of everything - but especially the wedding! And remember, I am a girl and I like details! I will ask complicated questions about food and flowers.
