Adventures in Japan

Decoupling

Trevor flew home to Canada today, but I don't think he'll actually land until tomorrow, which is actually today because of the time difference. Or something like that. According to Nate, the jet lag is terrible. I don't envy either of them.

I rode the train with Trevor out to the airport. Unbeknownst to me, knownst to Trevor but he forgot, the train splits in two somewhere along its journey. Half goes to the airport, half doesn't. It turns out we got on the wrong end of the train and had to run along the platform to switch cars before the train decoupled. If we'd been asleep, we would have ended up in Wakayama (i.e. nowhere near the airport).

Other than that, I think Trev made it out of the the country without incident, but also without playing Star Wars pachinko, seeing a Japanese movie in a Japanese theatre, eating good okonomiyaki, seeing a proper castle, soaking in a hot spring, or snowboarding on a Japanese mountain. Poor kid. He must not have had any fun at all.
