Got up relatively early in the morning and made my way to Cairns. Once at the Airport I checked in with no issue but go pulled up at the Customs/Passport Check point because I don't have an Australian Passport.
The guy thought I had been on holiday and was going back home, when I told him I was a citizen he said he had to make sure because otherwise I was a resident and would need some sort of return/re-entry visa. It was kinda annoying. There really should be a citizenship card or something... there's no point in me buying an Australian Passport when my British one is still in date.
Got patted down and bomb checked after that. I finally got through to my Gate and boarded not long after.
The flight over wasn't that bad at all! I watched The Lorax and The Hunger games and had a nice business class meal that they had spare; chicken, vegetables and rice. I had a light nap and took some video.
Once I got off the plane in Narita is was very easy getting into Japan. Easier getting into Japan than it was getting out of Australia. I handed in my paperwork, had my fingerprints and photo taken and explained to the Quarantine lady that the 'items I have been asked to bring in for someone else' are just a pair of shoes and pants :P
Once I got my luggage and exited... Fuyu was there... I was meant to meet him at the Haneda Airport the next day... waaah~! I didn't recognise him at first... I wasn't expecting him and he's looking a lot healthier... it was weird and nice.
Together we caught the shuttle bus to the International Garden Hotel, checked in and RELAXED!
Later we became hungry, but the hotel's restaurant had already closed and we wouldn't have made it to the Aon Shopping Center in time. Lucky for us, there's a Konbini (Convinience Store) right outside the hotel. I was a little nervous about the food there and just got a King Noodle cup. When we got back Fuyu had me try the food that he had bought; yakisoba (Japanese stirfry), okonomiyaki (omlette) and takoyaki (deep fried octopus balls). I left my noodle cup too long and the flavour went :'D
We fell asleep not long aftwards!
