Going back

So, two days ago I was finally off to Japan.
My mom gave me a ride to Oslo airport, and since I was stopping at London Heathrow she graced me with left over pounds from her last trip to England. It was like 50 pounds!
The flight to Heathrow was kind of horrible. There was so much turbulence I actually felt the fear of death creeping up on for real. And (not that it's comparable) the couple in the seat in front of me couldn't keep it in their pants.
I'm all for public display of affection if it means holding hands or sleeping on shoulders or maybe a peck now and then on the lips or the forehead, but when you're strapped into a seat, practically n top of people, you can keep yourself from loud slurpy open mouth kissing for the roughly two hours from Oslo to London. Just saying.
When I got to Heathrow I put my money to use. For some reason they don't seem to have trolleys there anymore, wich made my shopping a bit of a pain because my hand luggage was humongus! But after wandering back and forth and trying out different things I decided to go for a MAC concealer and Royal Desire, by Christina Aguilera. I hadn't brought perfume, becuse I was planning to buy it at the tax free. There were lots of other candidates, but I really like this one! It smells really nice, and the bottle is cute too. Not to mention it was one of the most affordable ones I found. And it's perfume, not au de toilette.
Also got something to eat and sat down to wait. Fortunately my plane to Tokyo was leaving from the same terminal as I had landed on.
The trip to Tokyo was less eventfull, luckily. We were circling on the ground for like an hour, and when we finally got in the air the entertainment systems didn't work at first, but I was so tired from my last few days of stress in Norway that I slept through most of this.
Then I watched Almost Famous (which I liked better than the first time I saw it) and Pocahontas (my god I forgot how great cartoons used to be! I laughed and cried like an idiot XD) and Indespicable me (which was actually really funny, I loved it).
The food wasn't much to sing about, but the dessert was delish!
Vanilla creme brule, halleluya O.O
Landing at Narita Airport I felt kind of lost. For the first time there wouldn't be anyone to greet me, because Tomo had gotten the dates wrong and couldn't come on the 3rd. So I wheeled my trolley out in the arrival hall, not sure where to start on getting back to life in Japan, when suddenly I heard my name.
At first I thught I was dreaming, but when I turned around, there was Mario! The guitarist from our band. Very much blonder than the last time I saw him XD
I was so happy I almost cried, seriously!
lol.
We found an ATM, something to eat and went to a Softbank store to get the phone working. I'd borrowed Jacks prepaid one, and I have never used a prepaid before, or a Softbank. Then we got on the train back towards Chiba.
I didn't have time to write about it, but Sana, who I was supposed to live with, actually cancelled on me two days before my leaving Oslo. She's doing the stupid work programme, and apparrently got in a huge fight with her boyfriend who wanted her to concentrate more on that and everything. I always had a back-up plan, because Tomo offered me to live at his place. Tomo is my ex-boyfriend, so I didn't really want to take him up on it, but intil futher notice, that is my adress.
Mario carried my bag, thank god, it was 13 kilos wich according to Ciliee isn't very heavy, but it is to me ok?XD and he helped me get a taxi from Hon Chiba station, and even paid. He really didn't have to do that I', filthy stinking rich at the moment, because my parents are just way too nice to me.
And here I am. Back in Japan.
