| When my plane landed at
Narita Airport, I was thinking. "Ah! the last layover, in less then an hour I'll be on my to
way Singapore." After all, the only thing I had to do was to see that my courier packet got to the airline representative and
that everything cleared customs. I had plenty of
time, my flight didn't leave for 55 minutes.
Wrong, by the time the airline representative showed & we cleared customs (there ended up being
22 large crates) my connecting flight had already taken off. (This is not unusual when
flying as a courier.) The airline made arrangements for me to fly out the next day but I was responsible for my hotel for the night & even though I was thinking "I'm in
Japan, this is going to cost me a fortune." I didn't feel like hanging around the airport for 18
hours. |
| The Narita View Hotel was all
stone. It had two swimming pools; one that you could swim from the inside of the hotel, under a glass partition, to the outside & another large pool inside, three dinning areas, two bars,
tennis courts, an a large Japanese garden. The rooms all had
television Plus V.C.R.s. Breakfast came with the room and even
the breakfast was amazing; Eggs, Bacon, sausage,
ham, potatoes, fish, rice, fruit, fruit juice, tea, coffee, milk, Danish, I really don't know
if this was all but it was served as a buffet. The people were very friendly and as usual in
Asia, since they like to practice their English, talkative. |
