One down two to go

The trip from Seoul was uneventful. I caught up on my sleep as usual. They served a shrimp dish half way through the flight which was nice. The plane emptied out quickly and the hallway we were sent through was nowhere near what I would have expected to see in Tokyo. I anticipated its being one of the biggest airports I may have ever seen. Tokyo I thought was one of the world's busiest. I asked someone where I could find the international connections transfer desk and was told it is by gate 47. That was the furthest gate from where we disembarked, so no change there.

I got to the desk and other than Thai there was nobody at the desk. The woman from Thai informed me that Air Canada opens at 2PM. So I will go chow down on some sushi and come back then. Not long after traversing the small corridor, there was a security checkpoint and a sign said we were supposed to show our boarding passes, which I did not have. This was visions of Istanbul where I would not have gotten as far as I just did in Tokyo without that precious 4 by 18 centimetre document.

The signage here is great and I had no problem finding anything (so far). I was intrigied by the flight map they were showing on the way here. We seemed to be mainly heading east but a bit south as well. My curiosity forced me to check Google maps and indeed Tokyo is 2 degrees or so south of Seoul which amounts to close to 180 miles. Who would'a thunk. Better still, who cares except this stupid weygook :).
