I have arrived in Narita airport in Tokyo. I am feeling much better. The excitement has surfaced and I am soaking in everything I see.
There is so much going on here so I am going to just bullet point the things I saw:
- The flight attendance, counter ladies for ANA are all really beautiful. No, seriously, they are all really gorgeous. Maybe it has to do with their immaculate up-do hair and uniform.
- Japan toilets – the ones that warm and wash your butts are ubiquitous! And they feel really weird for the first if you have not had water spraying into your ass while sitting in the toilet.
- Fukuoka is a very accessible city. Many people speak some English.
- Japanese customer service is excellent. Even though they know you don’t speak Japanese, they still speak to you in Japanese like you do and make sure you are okay.
- Yes, convenient store and vending machines are ubiquitous.
- Though they don’t celebrate x’mas here. X’mas songs are blasting everywhere. Apparently, x’mas is like a couples holiday here.
- Lastly, even though I am Asian, I still stand out like a reindeer.

Thanks for this, Tiffani. I would dearly love to take a look around Japan and your blog is opening a window. You have such a wonderful personal style of writing. I've put your blog feed in my RSS reader and I'm looking forward to further reports!
ReplyDeleteDavid had experiences with the Japanese high tech toilet... ;O)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Glen! Let me know if you make it to Japan! BTW, I heard from Judy that you may be taking the job in China?
