Tokyo, Japan (Dexter)
11/24/04 Day 8Song of the day: Holiday in Cambodia
Today I took off from Bangkok and went across Southeast Asia. I flew over Laos and Cambodia (inspiration for the song of the day) and right over Da Nang, in Vietnam. That was another weird moment, when they tell you on the radio to ‘contact Ho Chi Minh control.‘ Ho Chi Minh control?! Wow. Just has a funny ring to it, doesn‘t it.
I flew over the South China Sea and stopped in Kaohsiung, Taiwan to get gas. This place was in the south of Taiwan, opposite of Taipei. When I got there there were like ten cars there waiting. They all worked at the airport and said they just wanted to have a look at the plane, because they never
had small planes land there. Ok, whatever. Then they started taking pictures of it! This must have been a big day for them. Or maybe they just have too much time on their hands down in Kaohsiung.
From there I headed up to Tokyo, Japan. If you‘ve never been to Japan, you should check it out. It‘s so different from ‘western‘ countries but in a very cool way. We‘ve toured there lots of times and we always have great shows. I landed at Narita airport, but it was already late so I didn‘t get into the city this time, I just stayed by the airport. Oh well, too bad. Sorry Tokyo. Maybe next time.
Just as well, though, tomorrow‘s gonna be a long day. Ever been to Russia?
Thanks for checking in. Later.
