And I managed to meet the girl a couple of hours before I took off.
Singapore-Osaka flight had no in-flight entertainment,
Likely because it was a midnight flight.
Landed in Osaka at around 7.30am local time.
Had a sneak preview of how expensive things are,
While trying to buy some food at the airport.
Slept on the sofa in the waiting lounge for 3 hours,
While waiting for the flight transfer.
JAL serves really wonderful meals.
Each meal comes with 2 appetizers, 1 main, & 2 desserts.
Cold soba, Jap salad, Don, Fruits, Cake/pudding.
What is impressive is the hot plate under the Don container ---
Keeps the rice and stuff warm.
Way to go, Japs!
Arrived at Heathrow at around 5pm GMT,
To face a hellish long queue at the customs,
And a ripped luggage bag that was a free gift from DBS.
Cheap.
Reached the London apartment at around 8pm.
After 20-odd hours around the world,
I was finally home.
