You on your way to the US?

9/14/2009 11:55:07 PM

Yep! I land in Raleigh at 11pm. This is going to be a long ass day.

haha I fully intend to try and stay awake for the next 18 hours so I can fall asleep when I hit my bed and hopefully trick the jet lag to stay the hell away from me.

9/15/2009 12:13:37 AM

Ugh the airport is so boring

9/15/2009 12:32:30 AM

Holy shit I had forgotten how bad Kansai airport is after you get through customs. The only thing over here is a duty free shop and a super crappy convenience store

9/15/2009 1:52:07 AM

I have always loved airports. Even during long waits. I admit it's a weird thing, but for me they represent...potential. Near-infinite potential. I can't think of a more magical place on earth, and yes, I know how gay that sounds.

9/15/2009 2:20:46 AM

If there were more airplanes or people for that matter at least I'd have something to watch. I'm one of 5 people in this terminal right now

9/15/2009 2:27:35 AM

start doing cartwheels. I'm sure everyone would appreciate it and it'll give you something to do and keep you awake

9/15/2009 2:31:31 AM

pull down your pants and shit everywhere

9/15/2009 2:33:43 AM

But that's five people off to do something cool! Either they're going home, and meeting people they miss, or they're off to do something that is at least a little unusual for them. And you're going home. There's something to be said for that.

I am sorely misplaced in a lifestyle that doesn't involve constantly waiting at airport terminals for the purpose of traveling in coach to do the mundane.

9/15/2009 2:33:45 AM

haha that's true, except for the grumpy businessman using the electrical outlet with me. He doesn't look like he wants to go on his business trip.

9/15/2009 2:43:44 AM

cartwheels would cheer him up

9/15/2009 2:45:17 AM

Human misery also has the potential to be entertaining.

9/15/2009 2:45:33 AM

lol I would bust my ass if I did cartwheels right now. Which would probably be amusing for everyone else here.

9/15/2009 2:46:21 AM

ruin that man's day even further

9/15/2009 2:49:55 AM

Airports have bars. Go find one.

If that's not an option, shame on you for not risking prison by smuggling liquor in with you.

9/15/2009 2:50:16 AM

This airport doesn't. I shit you not. It had a bar before customs but there's just the two stores after customs. A retard designed this waiting area.

9/15/2009 2:53:07 AM

Start singing "Leaving on a jet plane" as loud as you can. Japs love karaoke. Also, references to Hiroshima.

9/15/2009 2:55:27 AM

hahaha HAY GUISE ARE WE RIDING ON TEH ENOLA GAY THIS EVENING??!?!?!?!

9/15/2009 2:57:38 AM

insult their culture as you wait. as you board the plane be sure to show everyone your brown eye so they know you are serious. this is important.

9/15/2009 2:58:24 AM

I got into trouble in South America, eating in a pizza restaurant where the only non-American (ie, not with me) customers were Japanese. After a roommate demolished an enormous pizza between us, I said, "We did to this pizza what America did to Hiroshima."

My roommate coughed, I turned around, and saw the Japanese family. I got the impression that they understood very little of what I had said, but they recognized an American saying "Hiroshima." They were, ah, less than pleased.

9/15/2009 3:01:23 AM

Military guys have just shown up. I wonder if they're coming from Okinawa.

9/15/2009 3:01:36 AM

LOL

9/15/2009 3:05:46 AM

Wow it's really crowded now. I guess everyone else was smart and stayed where there was actually crap to do before boarding

9/15/2009 3:15:14 AM

Well...another lesson learned. Don't you hate learning the hard way?

On another note, I'm so hungry I could eat three big macs. I thought of this because the last time I traveled, I ate a big mac in o'hare.

9/15/2009 3:18:46 AM

well you have a laptop and internet access.

looks like you'll have to take it to a bathroom stall and find some porn.

9/15/2009 3:20:45 AM

This is Japan, I can look at porn in public.

But I've been occupying myself reading this: http://www.oddee.com/item_96807.aspx

w00t time for boarding! I'll wait for the line to thin.

9/15/2009 3:29:08 AM

Yeah but you can't masturbate in public!

It's a great way to kill 15 minutes.

9/15/2009 3:36:10 AM

Thank god she's gone for two weeks.

ha, I know exactly what you are talking about. WORST AIRPORT EVER. lol, not really - just shitty for eateries/stores/looking at shit

9/15/2009 7:59:30 AM

in the Dublin airport they had bars and sold Jameson whiskey but I didn't really see much of what was after customs, we got on the plane right after going through... I'm sure there was some form of alcohol though

9/15/2009 8:01:16 AM

^^ haha yeah I wouldn't rank it the worse (Dulles holds a special place in my heart for that title) but it's pretty damn bad.

JESUS CHRIST THE HAITIANS ON MY SFO TO DC FLIGHT

These Haitians get on the flight, and they're all pissed that they can't sit together, so the flight gets delayed because they refuse to sit down, and then one of their kids starts doing this thing where he's huffing air through his nose so it makes this really loud snorting/snotty sound, then pretending to sneeze. And he does this for two hours before a flight attendant finally comes over and tells him to STFU, which gets the parents even more pissy.

I was ready for passengers to get up and start taking turns beating the kid. You could see in everyone's face they wanted to.

9/16/2009 2:26:39 AM

yay you made it

9/16/2009 2:30:09 AM

oh, you think Dulles is the worst airport? guess you've never gotten stuck on the ground for 3-4 hours in the NE corridor just because they scheduled too many planes for the day

9/16/2009 7:51:21 AM

airports are so boring. i concur

9/16/2009 7:56:50 AM

haha I've actually always been lucky at JFK and never had that problem. O'Hare is a bitch though.
