A journal entry from: Japan Blitz
The day has finally came yay!!! Went to Pharmacy Direct in the morning just to buy some last minute stuff before dad and mum drove me and cat to the airport. Cat so funny, she didn't even have time to put on shoes lol. Got to the airport at 10.30am. Mimi and Derrian came not long after. Derrian's parents and grandma also came to farewell us off. We checked in really early and maybe because we were flying China Airlines, the lines werent that long. Too much time to spare, so went to buy some more duty free. Derrian bought some alki - blue label and i bought some cosmetics for mum, which we will pick up on the way back. The others had some last minute coffee and then we head in to immigration.
Now regulations make all travellers put any liquid products into a little plastic bag for inspection. That includes makeup. Liquid more than a certain limit was banned and should be placed into checkin luggage. We got through, then me and derrian went to claim tax from TRS .... yes daniel ure 1k worth of goods still intact hahaha... Unfortunately for Derrian, he couldnt claim any due to minor issues. Met up with the others and played around in the duty free section.
There was free internet booth just outside boarding gate, so i checked my email one last time before boarding. Our flight wasnt that packed but there were ppl still!!! hahaha The pilot we thought was called wanker hahaha but i think it was michael something. His such a good pilot. Smooth takeoff and landing. We had some nice chicks as our stewardess. One cute one by the name of C.C.Lin haha. There were a few weirdos on the plane though... like this fat lady and fat son who sat by the window. They kept on requesting this and that, got a bit annoying. Then there was a caucasian guy who looked like he hasn't slept in ages coz he moved seats for bigger space and then he thought it would be better to sleep on the floor so he was lying on the ground! We sat behind him and we were watching Rush Hour 3 on the plane... that movie was hilarious and we were cracking up. He turns around and told us to hush! I also watched Michael Clayton but thats too hard to understand.. i watched the whole thing but i still don't get it.
China Airlines was our ultimate test. Its known for its bad safety record. But we landed safely and thats why im typing this out hahah. It has a good flight entertainment. We played games and watched live footage of the aircraft landing and taking off.
