Flight #2 (go to the comments for the rest of the post)
Yay! I got it! Alright. So, I get on the plane and walk to the back, looking as the numbers go down from 1 to 67. And then the nubers stopped. And my seat number was 75. Um...flightattendanthelpmemyseatismissing!!! Well guess what??? I was on- wait for it- the SECOND FLOOR!!! Woah, right! There was a little confusion in the beginning because apparently my ticket didn't say I was unaccompanied *ahem daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddd...* but its okay. The flight attendants were nice and didn't kick me off. Okay, so about the flight.... COMPLETE LUXURY! I'm sure I will never experience such luxury on a plane again, so I shall document it nicely: First of all, you get your own pod sectioned off seat. This seat is large and has many adjustments (as you can see in the picture above) The top can tilt back or forwards, the seat can move forward or back, down, up, and there are leg rests that you can adjust too. The tv screen is large and a touch screen (!) with movies, tv shows, games, a virtual moving map, and more! Oh, and the food, the FOOD... I dont think I've ever had good tasting airplane food but this was great! For dinner there were three courses: first was tomato basil soup with raw salmon with this cole slaw like stuff, next was a salad, then the main course of tender juicy beef, spiced carrots, and parsnip pastey stuff (<- surprisingly not bad). Then dessert you could choose from a cheese platter, chocolate covered cream puffs, or sundaes (my choice) with different sauces and nuts and whipped cream for toppings. Thanks to the chair (and the squishy pillows and the quilted blanket --oh such luxury), which could lie down flat making a bed, I got three 1/2 hours of sleep. Doesnt sound like much, but its more than I ever get on trips. Before sleeping, I watched a movie and some tv. After awakening the first time, I took a walk downstairs (through all the non-luxury people :P) and read some of my

Read some of your what? I need to know? I don't think I'll ever experience such luxury, either. Glad to hear you appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteOoo, it lets me comment! Okay so continuing: I read some of my, yes I did, AP history textbook (okay, yes, 6 pages does count as some)After, I watched another movie and played pacman before sleeping for a little bit more. This whole time I was awake was the time that everyone else on the plane was asleep (except for this one guy watching movies with arabic subtitles who I will meet later on)so the flight attendants kept coming over and asking if I wanted anything :) Taking good care of us luxury fliers, I see. Yup. After that I tried to learn some more japanese and ate some breakfast (came with yogurt, biscuit, granola, fruit, and two glasses of milk)I was so excited when we finally got there. I packed up all my things an hour early and collected the garbage into the plastic case the pillows came in, and once I could open the windows I watched eagerly at the passing landscape. It turns out that Narita is actually around an hour outside of the city, so I got to see a bunch of farms and forest/hill things that looked like lumps coming out of the flat farmland. ->_____/^\_______ And then I was there. The end. More later :)
