The Journey Begins
Christopher | June 9, 2009I managed to pare down my belongings into the requisite “two hand bags” limit that I imposed on myself for my trip to Japan. I have enough clothes for a week, so the trick is to find somewhere in Hokkaido to do some laundry. Maybe I can find some helpful monkeys around the hot springs to help out with the chore.
I’m currently writing from the lovely Vancouver International Airport. I’m listening to announcements in all kinds of languages. Japanese, English, and Chinese are the most common. I’ve heard a couple in Thai and Spanish as well. This modern terminal is equiped with crazy native statues, creative lighting installations, theater seating around the TV podiums, and a big cartoon play area for the kids.
The coolest thing about the Vancouver airport is all the amenities they offer. Free wifi (good for launching new blogs). Free luggage carts (good for people who would rather push their luggage). And security guard patrols with guys who seem to be both trained and alert (good for keeping the travelers safe).
Well, time to grab another flight and cross an ocean. See you next time, friends.
