Had a nice breakfast of toast and tea at tully's and now I'm in my way. First stop was gyotoku where I finished my packing and head out to narita airport. I had a decent lunch of keema curry with fried chicken at coco curry before taking the train to Funabashi. I was trying a different route this time, rather than taking th usual airport limousine bus or the rapid narita express train.
The only tricky part was to change over to keisei nishifuna at nishi Funabashi to the keisei line for narita airport. Took me some time to find the station, even though it was a 10 minute walk. And in th end, google maps helped. I need to remember that I have that thing and it really works !!
Changed another train and reached narita. Picked up some cigarettes from duty free but could not find a good bottle of bourbon. Got on the plane easily, this was a fully packed flight. I was given the option of a middle seat, but It was near the emergency seat so I did not mind. The inflight movie was a night at the musuem, dubbed in Japanese , with subtitles in .... Japanese !! No seperate tv for every passenger here, but again, I did choose the cheapest flight. Could not sleep at all, had the airplane lunch of roast beef and potatos.
Taipei airport was uneventful, the only high being that I could find free internet and it had free wi fi in the waiting lounge. Had a tuna sandwich waiting for the plane to Bangkok. Another 3 hour flight and another airplane fried rice later I was finally at suvarnabhumi airport !
I was all prepared for the tourist scams I had heard of, so I headed straight to the official taxi stand. The airport was similar to Mumbai , in the sense that me being a foreigner was being offered all kinds of rides into the city. After agreeing to the initial booking charge of 50 baht, I was husked into a cab which looked like a maruti esteem. I was too tired to speak by this time, I still managed to ask the driver about a huge monument we saw on the road, but received a curt " I don't know " in reply.
The rest of the night passed in silence and I reached the hotel around 2.30 am. Well not in complete silence :-)
