Planet Walt

Japan day 8 (June 12)

• Visit to the Central Fish Market.
• Sushi brunch in the Central Fish Market.
• At brunch witnessed a plate prepared where the fish was still alive when presented to the customer (!).
• Took the subway and JR Narita Express train line to the airport. (Took a bus and taxi to the hotel on day 1.) My scheduled train was initially delayed and then taken out of service due to mechanical problems; the next scheduled train packed in two loads of passengers.
• Arrived home before I left (departed NRT at 4:25 PM on Friday the 12th; arrived MSP at 1:00 PM on Friday the 12th).
• Did not receive an exit row seat on the flight. Luckily the guy in front of me did not recline.
• Decided that Steerage (Economy/"Coach") is OK for domestic flights, but I'll have to shell out for First Class or World Business Class on the next international flight.
