Finally, I'm here

The flight was long and uncomfortabe. It's the first time I've flown with Cathae Pacific. I've only heard bad things about them. My flight transferred at Hong Kong. It was cramped, there was a baby crying and they only had 1 of the 3 meals on the menu. The flight attendants were like drones. "What would you like for dinner sir?"
"I'd like the chicken please."
"I'm very sorry sir, but we're all out of the chicken dinners."
"Then I'll go with the fish, thanks."
"I'm sorry sir but we're also out of the fish dinners too. Would you care for the mushroom and spinach pasta?"
"Do you have anything else?"
"You may choose any of the 3 items on the menu tonight sir." With such a hospitable smile. Also, the food came 2 and a half hours after we ordered it. So, yeah that flight sucked. On the other hand, the second flight from Hong Kong to Japan was pretty good. The plane was only a third full, they gave me 2 dinners and it arrived in Japan almost an hour early.

Man, it was good to be in Japan again. I'd been waiting to see my partner for 8 months. This is the second time I've been to Japan. Coming from the village, Kopeopeo in New Zealand I thought the Metropolis of Tōkyō would be overwhelming and exciting all over again. It wasn't though. I felt more like I was back home.
