Landed

We took off from Victoria and were on our way. After a brief stop over in Vancouver we had a pretty smooth 10.5 hour flight into Osaka.

Hilariously both the approach and first few minutes in the airport could have been YVR from all appearances. That is until we went through the quarantine area where thermal body cameras took our temperature, followed by being electronically finger printed and having our photos taken.

Well and there was Mario and the gang, because of course there was.

The train station outside the airport was something though. We boarded the express train looking to transfer to the subway a fair way down the line. A gentleman on the train saw us staring at the stops as they would display on the lcd screen and compare it to our list. He didn’t speak english but was able to communicate with us that the stop we were looking at wouldn’t be coming up for about 40 minutes.

We transfered to the Subway quite easily given another person saw us looking at various signs and confirmed for us that we were in the right place and that either train we got on would take us to our hotel.

Check in was painless and given that it was 2:30 am to us, the only thing we had energy to do was go to the 7-11 and see if convenient store food here really is as amazing as everyone says. It is. The premade teriyaki and egg sandwich, because you have to pick something odd, was shockingly delicious.

With that we hit the hay, and will see what the next day brings.
