Thursday:
Up at 6am, on train before 7:30. Arrived at airport at 9:30 and into departure lounge by 11. Jo was hungry so has gone looking for food. He says I need to be able to say more Japanese than "yes" and "coffee". Im not sure why. Have said I will learn a few more words. Jo had spent half his time in the baggage drop queue chatting to some Japanese girls, he was happy that they understood him.This is a good start.
