Above you can see the Boeing 777-300ER I flew in. This thing is massive. Also, since I flew on a Wednesday and many flights have been canceled to Japan, this flight was only filled to 1/3 capacity resulting in everyone having 3 seats to themselves. It was like a free upgrade to first class minus the screaming child kicking the back of my seat for 13.5 hours.

 The flight resulted in the longest day of my life.... literally. I flew opposite the rotation of the earth resulting in over 24 hours of sunlight. Below is my first glimpse of Japan.

 This is a picture of the outside of Anne Hostel, where I will be staying until the 30th. Because of radiation worries there are very few guests at the moment :(

 Including me, there are three people staying at the hostel. This is James and Stephanie (subject to change in the event I spelled her name wrong).

Departure Day 2.0

Started the day off nice and early with a ride to the Atlanta airport at 3 o'clock in the morning for my Atlanta to Toronto leg.

 

Even though its about 5 am in this picture, I'm pretty awake since I have been running on Japanese time since last week (my original departure date)

 

On to the next leg of the trip, good old cold Canada. . . I wouldn't expect any other weather than this up here.
