Japan is such an easy country to live in, once you've been here for awhile. There's a wonderful system of buses or as they call them here “Airport Limousines” to take you in splendid comfort from the major airports to somewhere close to home and vice versa. Oddly the buses around Kobe that take us to KIX are called “Salad Express” and are adorned with painted fruit characters smiling and dancing, presumebly happy to either be going on a trip or to be arriving safely home. Luckily for me I managed to experience this bus ride twice in the same afternoon. Somehow with Joy's flight arriving on Monday and me going into Osaka on Tuesday to arrange for her China visa for the Spring holiday, I've managed to lose a day and came to the airport a full day late. While the bus to the airport was just about empty, the return journey is packed out with barely a spare seat.
Thankfully the flight to Manila with Cebu Airpacific is cheap, as even though I took out travel insurance, I doubt I'll see any of the cost returned; I don't think they compensate for stupidity!
So, got back home for one more night and booked a new flight for tomorrow, e-mailed the dental clinic in Manila to beg forgiveness and to ask for another booking. I'll put it down to a practise run, so should get it perfect next time.
