Fly to Japan they said...It'll be fun they said

All Packed!

The title was just a little fun poke at the fact that the flight to Japan is around 11.5 hours. This will be my first venture outside the confines of the US of A and I'm getting pretty excited. I think that this will be a fun trip overall and I'm looking forward to getting a taste of life outside the Stanford bubble. If the views in Japan are anything like what I saw in places like Miami or Hawaii, then I'm in for a treat. I figured I would make a little bucket list of things to do in the next few sure to be action packed days. Hopefully I can fit everything in and I'll be sure to post every experience with a picture to accompany it.

Now about that bucket list:

1. Eat something weird/amazing (COMPLETED)

2. Take in the awesome scenery (COMPLETED)

3. Visit a temple (COMPLETED)

4. Meet some cool people (COMPLETED)

5. Eat at a traditional restaurant (COMPLETED)

6. Visit a shrine (COMPLETED)

7. Go to Mino Park (INCOMPLETE)

8. See the sky garden (INCOMPLETE)

This is just a preliminary list of things I've heard of/know to be cool destinations. Hopefully I get to do all of them but if not I'm sure other things will come up along the way. Flight is at 11AM and I think I'll land at around 2:30PM but with the time difference and the length of the flight, time zones, atmospheric pressure, Coriolis affect who know how long it'll actually take. I'm just sticking with the 11 and a half hours it says on the ticket. I've got a good book and my iPad, I think I'll be alright. Time to make some final preparations then I'm off. See you in Japan!

P.S

They call me "el Wasp Hunter"
