Setting Off

It was a good thing that we set off early from Kyoto to the Kansai Airport in Osaka this morning as the journey took close to a couple if hours and there was a long queue at immigrations and check-in. Starving, right after we cleared the security we rushed for breakfast. A ramen affair this morning. And it was not long before we started doing some duty free and rushing to the terminal to board, a short train ride away.

One of my colleague wasn't very well, with a slight virus and was feeling under the weather the whole journey to the airport. As for me, I was sleeping away all the way. Setting off at 6.45 and a bit of packing meant that I had to wake up at 5.30.

And it was raining all the two hours in the bus ..... more entries from the trip here.

Lets the Conference Begin

Lush green scenery. That was what greeted me when I was driven from Kansai Airport to Kyoto, about an hour away. It was a crisp spring morning, temperature of 10 degrees outside. In the comfort of the car, the journey took me through the hills upon leaving Osaka. Nice and tranquil.

The journey in was also painless. A nice comfortable flight, and I managed to sleep for about 4 hours. The flight was only 6 hours long with a little helping hand from the tailwind. Not much turbulence, but the flight was full, with screaming children for good measure.

The immigrations and customs were fairly straight forward, possibly due to the time of the day - it was just before 7 when we rolled in.

Need to refresh when I check-in. Next would be the taxi ride to the Conference Centre. Hmm! I only have USD with me. Need to get hold of some Yen.
