More like 9:30am but otherwise about right. lol. It's ok, i'm used to trawling around the horrors of Gatwick and Dublin airports. :/ You know, where it's about a half-hour hike from check in to your departure lounge?

I think yours arrives at gate 72.... And O'Hare is not walk in the park either! There's a tram between terminals though....

I thought it was funny. And it's Bobby who continually takes it too far with his nonsensical, idiotic bleatings.

Oh? Trains in general or Japanese trains? I must say I have an interest in all things transport. Mostly airlines and aircraft, but trains come in a close second. If I had the money I'd love to have one of those huge detailed train sets in my attic.
I think trains in general. I just love riding trains, well here in Japan though. I have not tried from other countries yet.

i was 16 y.o by myself in narita. i needed to go to the bathroom. i saw the toilets in the ground and laughed for five minutes straight. i'd known about them before i left the states but seeing it was funny. that was the only serious reaction to anything from there on out.

I surely hope there was western types as well! Even the earliest time I was there, in 1989, they had western ones. Of course they did, but it must have been a sight to see in person!

I LOVE japanese trains, highly efficient comparing to what we have here in toronto.... what we have is just plain garbage..

神田 <----東京---->有楽町

Love that! I also love that the Japanese know the love of their trains and sell all sorts of things with train themes. My Yamanote Line towels, keychains, eki-melo keychains, etc are piling up. I will get more items when I go back. Same goes for the Shinkansen and regular trains. I can't get enough of them!

Can't agree more. As indicated in another thread, I will be building a mini tokyo once i moved... got the train set and some buildings already

I too will probably spend a good chunk of my time shopping at different train store and the Saitama railway museum when i return

So I suppose my reaction is just happy.. because I get to go back.. but if i really count the very first time when I was a kid, I was more scared than anything, but I was only 7 at the time
