In Osaka
I finally made it to Japan! For it being my first time on a plane and being out of the country, things went fairly smooth. After receiving my boarding pass (and a little sass from the woman behind the counter) I made it through the TSA portion fairly fast. I actually waited in line for the boarding pass for the second leg of my trip from Narita to Itami. When trying to to past some point before receiving my second boarding pass I was asked where my bags were. I told the man that when I originally checked in that I was told that they would be taken care of for me between flights. That was not so. Luckily for me my bags were going around only a few hundred feet from where I was. For the first flight there were about ten movies that ranged from bad to mediocre (minus one or two that I had seen) and there were other tv shows, games, and music to listen to. It was slightly disappointing. Because of the time most people were sleeping and the plane was pretty dark, nothing like those cheerful commercials. After a while there were no good places to put my legs so they started to cramp, and this is even with having an aisle seat (that I was lucky enough to switch to right before I checked in). Once I finally reached Itami I decided to walk to my hotel instead of asking about a bus/van to the place. I was completely sweaty and it took me a while to cool off. All I have to do tomorrow is exchange my dollars into yen and go to my apartment company's office. Easier said than done (especially with two suitcases and a backpack).
