In Nagoya, Japan

[noahgibbs]

Arrived safely at Nagoya airport. Not my final destination, but on the way.

Turns out you can now bring carry-on baggage on intl flights. Yay!

There are for-pay internet stations in Nagoya, though the keyboards suck. Thus my occasional lack of appropriate punctuation.

Going for a week without seeing the girl is going to suck.

Briefly, Im on a land-mass with monkeys. After my connecting flight, no monkeys (Hokkaido is like that). Either way, I wont see monkeys. Very sad.

Theres a Starbucks in the airport mall (called Skytown) in Nagoya. I didnt stop in to see if theyre mostly like the American version.

I have now used a traditional Japanese-style toilet. I now understand their fascination with all things Western-toilet-related, and preferably really high-tech.

I post differently when on a short time-limit. Can you tell?

Still not King.

Though... Life? Pretty good.

Maybe not King, but once it's official, you'll be married to a Princess, which will make a de facto Prince.

Nice work if you can get it...

You can stay.

*grin*

Also: hello from the youth hostel, lovely girl!

Technically, that might just make him Prince-Consort. =)

I think I am going to have to start referring to myself that way. Its certainly a lovely title :-)

[rightkindofme.livejournal.com]

You are all making me very happy.

[tshuma]

Yay! Can I stay, too?

And, well, really, you're a Princess in your own right, and that's what we call any prince who becomes a Prince merely by consorting with a Princess. ;) Perfectly logical.

(I blame the SCA.)

We already knew *you* could stay. :)

*bounce* Much silliness is making my day better. Yay!!

Whee! Although...no monkeys. So sad.

[internet-addict.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the question is, in that carry-on baggage, can you bring snakes? On the plane!

I imagine monkeys on a plane would be far more dangerous and amusing...

That'll be the sequel.

personally I've grown to appreciate the Japanese toilet particularly in places like gas staitions and public parks where toilets generally get nasty... Japanese toilets are way easier to keep clean and no worries about sitting on a dirty seat.

As a girl there is of course a skill set involved but my mom taught me how to squat behind a bush when I was 5

I'm pretty sure it was only ever flights to and from the UK where all carryon was disallowed.

Enjoy the trip...
