My 18hrs Odeal! (Flying to USA, 5th Dec!) Part Two

After 6 hours of flight, I stopped over at Narita Airport, Tokyo Japan. I had to wait for 3 hours before the next flight to O'Hare Airport, Chicago USA. I have totally lost track of time... the sun was already setting in Japan despite me leaving before dawn in Singapore (try thinking of time accelerating!). With time to burn, I took some photos around.

I wrote something in my notebook during the 3 hours wait in the Transit Lounge below:

United Airlines is not too interesting an airline to take... First
of all, there is the lousy in-flight entertainment. There is only a big screen
in front of every 3 rows of seats and we do not have any choice of what we want
to watch.


In 5 hours flight from
Singapore to Tokyo, there is only one show worth watching, which is 'Fantastic
Four'. Of course, I did not watch it... I was too tired as I didn't sleep the
night before.


The food was
pretty ok... we had chicken rice for breakfast. It didn't taste too good but it
is still soul food (and there is chilli sauce!)


Now I am in the transit lounge at Narita Airport,
Tokyo. There's nothing much here... not much things to see here and there is no
open-air spots. Everything including internet access costs money here (and
pretty expensive at that!), so basically I will be rotting here for 3 hours
before I can connect to a flight to Chicago.


The Chicago flight is going to be killing! A
scary 10 hours flight without any interactive in-flight entertainment! Guys take
SIA if you want to go anywhere far!
