Sayonara, Tokyo-to…For now…

I clean the Weekly Mansion I was staying in, and turn in my card key. Here is where I take that long, final walk to Joju-ji temple, when Mr. Tamura is at. While waiting for the time when I take off to the airport.

I have a Pepsi, for Sergio. 500ml for ¥100. Not bad, for around here.

When we were ready, we took off to Narita airport.

The tower in the background is the Tokyo Sky Tree, still under construction. I will take a better pic on the next trip.

 

More highway shots…

If you look VERY carefully, you can see the Magic Castle at Tokyo Disneyland.

Then we arrived at Narita Airport. After turning in the Cell that Mr. Tamura rented for me, then checking in at the ANA counter, they, crediting the miles for this flight too, we had lunch.

“Whenever I fly out at Narita, I eat at this Chinese restaurant.”, Mr. Tamura mentioned to me.

This was my final meal in Japan: a Chinese style ramen, fried rice, and a Chinese style gyoza (Not pictured, unfortunately), that I have not seen before.

Then when I got to the security area, this was my final glimpse of my friend, for 12 years, Taimei Tamura.

The security check was lightning fast. Even though they went through my backpack a second time, it was still lightning fast, and far more professional than the goons we have in America doing this.

Flight NH008, the ANA flight back to the USA. A B777. On the flight back I had the Pork Fricassee. The movie I watched was called Kaiji: Jinsei gyakuten gêmu. I would buy that on Blu-Ray, actually.

San Francisco…Had to go through the LONG-assed lines at customs. Afterwards, I had to go to security (ugh…AGAIN). LONG lines, unprofessional…Then I hit the United Airlines flight to Planet Phoenix (ugh).

After arrival, Victoria, one of my blogging friends, picks me up at Phoenix Sky Harbor.

Then I get to get over the Jet Lag and start work all over again…UGH…

Sayonara, Tokyo…

…Until the next time…

I now return you to your regularly scheduled websurf…
