2nd installment probably will appear tomorrow, I hope. I could go into even more detail and get even more excited about it if I had the time, but sadly I don't - it was a lot more wonderful than I can even find the words for. I'm not sure there are words to describe Japan. Possibly "Kawaii" comes close. :)
I had wondered how you could afford to keep zooming between Norway and Taiwan all the time, and now I know. Is Finnair your secret? At least I know how to get to Japan cheaply now. :) And they have Fazer chocolate on flights, which always is a big plus for me. The only irritant is how the entertainment system cuts out when they are making an announcement, and they insist on announcing everything in Finnish, Swedish, English and Japanese. Aside from that, Finnair win totally. :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets frustrated by those evil station shopping malls. Some of them have about 50 exits, apparently, which seems absurd when you can't find ANY of them, and then the chances of finding the correct one is minimal. And then you've found you've walked all the way to the next station underground. Or something. Argh! When you have to walk through a shopping mall just to change lines, you can't help but think that possibly you're going the wrong way.
