Andrew World: Day 1

Depart from Singapore and landed at Tokyo Narita Airport. My first time there. The place look cool. Did not really see any pretty japanese ladies as describe from newpaper or TV. Saw many unique foodstuffs that the ladies are promoting. I and David keep trying out the foodstuff offered by the ladies as we slowly walked around the airport. As time passes, hunger started to creep in. We recced quite a few places before settle to eat beef rice for our lunch. The foodstuff around the airport is quite expensive. We paid 500 yen for the mini rice. Was not really full even after the meal. just wait for the boarding of the next flight to have our in flight meal. The flight to Chicago was slightly delayed for 20mins due to the windy weather. The ride was long and tiring from Tokyo to chicago. Imagine 11hour ride cramp in the seat. nowhere to go and furthermore no individual in flight entertainment. My whole body especially my leg is aching from the long journey. I dare not think how Kim is going to survive the long journey.

Upon reaching chicago, we have to make a dash for our luggages and to check in for the flight to St Louis. Eveything was messy and fast. Time is running up and the flight is going to depart soon. Some of the guys are unable to retrieve their luggages and by the time, we reached the check-in counter. We were told that the Check-in was closed and we are unable to board the plane. The next early flight will be at 0815am the next day. We were offered to stay at the nearest hotel and to catch the next day flight. Together with our luggages, we slowly boarded the coach to out hotel for the overnight stay.
