Enroute to Bangkok and Finally Feeling Good!

My travels started off rather rough.... I had to take it ALL OFF at Pearson this morning and was rudely frisked and strip searched by a rather big woman I like to call Bertha or Bubba! I swear, me and immigration and security are never a good mix! Do I look shady? Why can't I ever go through security smoothly without any delays?!!! I guess they sense my fear and to them fear means that I am guilty of something.

As I was going through security, I kept on beeping. So they made me take my shoes and belt off yet I was still beeping. They couldn't figure out why and neither could I. They used that lil scanner gadget and as they ran it around my southern region and my chest it would beep...so that is when they made me go into a little room where Bertha / Bubba rudely shoved me in this little room and told me to take my clothes off and spread em. I was so scared. The worst was that she was watching as I took my clothes off... at least she was nice enough to let me keep my brazier and knickers on! I felt so violated when she was checking me! We later found out why I was beeping... I won't go into detail there just coz...I like to keep y'all in suspense and wonder why I was beeping : ) I'm mean like that!

So the flight to Frisco was so ghetto! I was enjoying my last Tim Horton's coffee EXTRA LARGE TRIPPLE TRIPPLE so by the time I got on the plane my bladder felt like bursting every 10 minutes or so. I had the window seat and my two tubby neighbors weren't so thrilled with me asking them to move so I can go to the bathroom. I felt bad so for them so for the next 4 hours I held it in as I noticed they had difficulty getting up from the seat. So I slept so I can forget about my need to pittle.

My ride from Frisco to Tokyo was really nice...too nice! The plane was empty so I had the whole row to myself. I slept for 8 of the 10 hours on the way so I missed both meals! By the time I got out I made a mad dash to a little sushi restaurant in Narita. Oh my god did I have an amazing meal. I forgot how good the sushi was here! So now I am waiting for my next flight to Bangkok. Everytime I come to Japan I have a sense of peace. It feels so good to be back here. I have 5 hours to kill so I was feeling a little adventurous and wanted to go out of the airport to tackle the city. It takes about 1.5-2 hours by train to get to the city so that would leave me with an hour to hit the FAMILY MART or LAWSON'S to eat my ice cream, pastries and my favorite drinks. Mmmmmmm, I miss the food soooo much! No wonder I had gained 30 pounds during my 1.5 year stint in Tokyo!!! As adventurous as I am feeling right now...I think it's best to play it safe and just stick around. Knowing my luck things might happen and I have no plastics (debit or credit cards) to save me if anything!

Well, I am out for now...I'm going to make some calls and give shout outs to my Tokyo friends! :)
