Airport blog

This is not an airplane blog, but rather an airport blog.

Not written from the sky, but the ground.

Don't be sad, there just might be an airplane blog, too. Either now or on the way back (traditionally, my airplane blogs are on the flight from CA to Japan, so it'll probably be the way back.)

I am delighted right now because Kansai airport has free wireless internet. I didn't expect to be on a computer with internet again until California, so this was a pretty pleasant surprise. Before now, I've only heard of the cool airports that let you use internet for free and I've always wanted to end up at one.

I have over two more hours left to wait for my plane, so I am just hanging out here. I'm trying to figure out how much of my battery I should spare for the flight- but it doesn't really make sense to save lots of battery because, as I have stated in an airplane blog once, "there is no internet in the sky."Probably the only thing I would use this computer for would be to watch something I brought. I think I rememeber seeing some good stuff listed in the "in flight movies" list, so I think I should be ok with that.

Kansai airport is SO WEIRD to me. There are so many other foreigners and they're all speaking English and I don't know them!!!!! I started a conversation with another American woman who was behind me in line just because it was so weird for me to have to there and I wanted to talk to relieve the awkwardness.

....Is it going to be really REALLY strange to be back in the US?

I am hoping this visit to California gives me a bit of an idea of what reverse culture shock will be like next year when I move back.

I can already tell from this experience that it's going to be very sad for me to leave Kagoshima next year.

This is my first boredom induced blog in a while, come to think of it.

Airport blogs are very serious compared to airplane blogs. But equally scattered. Whoopee!
