Takoyaki

Sep

I had Takoyaki yesterday. If you don't know what it is, check out the Wikipedia I listed. It was very hot and good. If you never had it, you should try. You can also buy frozen Takoyaki at Japanese supermarkets in the US. Make sure you buy one that is round not a bell shape one.

iPhone 6 Now Available

Sep

19

I went to Toyota Dealer today. There is an AU shop within it.
There is nobody lining up at this AU store and there are some already available.
Because this is an AU store you cannot buy a SIM FREE version.

I heard iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are cheaper in Japan than anywhere else in the world because of weaker Yen. There are many Chinese people lining up to buy iPhone 6 in Japan.

Japanese Carrier Service

Sep

18

I am moving to Tokyo in two days. I will pack a suitcase today and ship it to my hotel in Tokyo. It will cost only about $18 and it should get there in one day. I can also send a golf bag to any golf course in Japan for about $27 round trip. If I do that using FEDEX in the US, it will cost me ten times that.

This carrier service in Japan is unbelievable.

From Seattle to Osaka

Sep

17

Korean Air is a Sky-Team Member.

The light blue 777-200 is what I am going to be on.

At Sea-Tac

Bording

Korean Air was about half the price of DELTA and ANA.

Arrived at Incheon
It is a big Airport.
I had to walk 20 minuets to get to connecting gate.

Incheon had very good Free WiFi.
It si very important.

Incheon Airport is like a huge shopping mall.

Got on the bus to get to the Asiana flight.

The plane was parked in the middle of the field.

Arrived at Kansai ... Anybody?

It was quiet compared to Incheon. Sad.

I flew Korean Air for the first time. It took over 11 hours from Seattle to Incheon, Korea. The plane was Boeing 777-200 and the seat configuration was not as nice as DELTA for being a business class. But flight was not full and I had nobody sitting next to me.

I watched many movies including Godzilla, X-Men, Captain America and Spider Man. 11 hours was long tome to kill. When I got to Incheon, I had to change the carrier from Korean to Asiana. First I had to find Asiana ticket counter to get my boarding pass. It was located at gate 29. Then I walked to gate 49 but it was change to gate 46. After sitting there for about 15 minuets, they tole me the gate was change to 29 (That where I was...).

Plane was delayed and the gate 29 is a bus gate. They too us out to the middle of the airfield where there was no lights other than ones from the plane. The flight was delayed for about an hour but the flight itself was only 1 hour and 20 minutes.

I arrive at Kansai around 9:30pm. By then everything was wining down at Kansai and immigration and custom was empty and I went through without any problem. All together, it took over 14 hours to get to Kansai. I booked the same flights for next month and I should be able to do better connection next time.
