Far East Cynic

Do you know the way…….

To anywhere but Incheon today?

As I got to the airport I heard an announcement for a flight to Vienna. Now that sounds like fun!

Today is the beginning of O-bon week here in Japan. That means that all 147 million Japanese , are trying to leave the country. A bit of an overstatement? Well, maybe. However it seemed like at least half of Tokyo was at the airport this am trying to catch planes to Europe, Thailand, China and anywhere else they can. I’m sure USFK planned it this way just to increase my own personal misery. Getting through immigration was made doubly difficult due to “Japanese passport only lines”-something I have never seen before.

So it seems to me there just one thing to do. 9:30 am? Screw it, I’m having a beer!

See you on the other side!
