Kawaii Japan (7th Day - Last Day)

Wednesday, 12th June 2013.

It was the last day for me to stay in Japan. I had my flight back at 12 pm and should be in the Narita airport 2 hours earlier. Considering that I took train as my transportation, so I decided to go at 07.20 am.

Last night, after went to Shinjuku, Dave gave us direction how to get the airport. He gave me the details schedule about the trains, the time and the price. Actually Kazuki also did, but I thought that Dave alternative was better and easier to get. So I took Dave's direction.

I woke up at 06.00 am at that time to have a shower and double check about my luggage. It was sooooo cold as Shibuya still in the rain. I thought it was raining since yesterday though. Geez! It seems like Shibuya was crying all the time.

My luggage was 10 kilos as I just brought 6 kilos in the beginning

At 07.10 am Dave came to my room and he took me and Retno out to the Hatsudai station. He helped us to buy a ticket. I was freak out when Dave told me there was something revision about the route. But it didn't, just a little bit miss-understood.

The train was exactly coming as the schedule. Fortunately we arrived 5 minutes earlier so we didn't miss the schedule. I thought it was the last time I saw Dave, it such a hard moment to say good bye. Thank you for your hands to help us, Dave. If you put Indonesia on your list, I believe we can catch up again.

By having Dave's direction, I went through station by station until the last station, Motoyawata Station. From Hatsudai Station to Motoyawata Station, we passed 21 stops. I bought a ticket from Hatsudai Station 120 yen, then when we arrived there, we paid 360 yen more, so it total 480 yen / IDR 48.000 one way.

Then we walked up into Keiseiyawata Station to go to Narita Airport. We didn't get lost anyway (fortunately!). From Keiseiyawata Station to Narita Airport station it cost 840 yen / IDR 84.000 one way to get Terminal 1. But if your flight in Terminal 2, you only pay 780 yen / IDR 78.000 one way.

I thought in the last destination I already arrived in Narita Airport though, but it didn't. So we had to transfer another train again by using the same ticket. So totally we took 3 different trains to get to Narita Airport.

Miles by miles we passed and brought us to the airport. It took time about 2 hours for us to get the airport and 30 minutes for passing the security check. The check in time was closed at 11 am, so we still had 30 minutes to relax.

Last night, I searched for Kit Kat green tea, but I didn't find it. However in the airport, there was store selling it. Beside Tokyo Banana, Kit Kat green tea such a mandatory snack "to be bought" when we are in Japan. It because Kit Kat green tea only exist in Japan.

I had to wait around an hour at boarding room because the flight was at 12.00 pm (local time). So I just spent time talking with Retno about our next plains to come back to Japan next year (amen).

Retno looks like a terrorist, lol

That was Garuda Indonesia 885 as our airplane to fly to Jakarta.

GA 0885

This time, me and Retno decided sitting next to each other. Now between me and her even closer to each other. I spent my time to watch movie and drink beer, Japanese beer!

Asahi Beer

Retno just sighed knowing that I drink beer and beer every time the flight attendants offered us drink. Then I said "don't worry, I behave myself. It just a beer". I teased her "do you want to try some?". She didn't answer, just shook her head quickly, lol. She was so funny.

The weather was so great though. But there was turbulence, and it was bit scary. It felt like I was in jet-coaster. Fortunately it only for 5 minutes and stop and 5 minutes again and went stable.

"You like cloud in the sky. I could see your beauty yet couldn't touch you"

I got some inspiration by watching cloud. It was making me so relax, so calm.

2 hours before landing, the meals were served. I choose Japanese food as my lunch.

Simmered mixed vegetables and chicken cake simmered pasific saury, Noodles with sauce, Chicken Teriyaki, Japanese vegetables

It was really really good menu though! To be honest, I want it more, lol.

After eat, there was immigration officer checking our passport in the airplane. It was the first time experience though.

So after they swept my passport, they gave a stamp on arrival in my passport and they gave me Immigration Clearance Card as a ticket to pass the immigration session in the airport later on. How easy, isn't it?

Spent 8 hours in the airplane brought me to come back to my reality, Jakarta. It was one week having good times in Japan that I will never forget forever in my life. No bad experience at all. Everything went so good, so memorable.

Here I would like to say thank you so much to Kokoronotomo Indonesia - Garuda Indonesia - Sunshine City Prince Hotel - Kazuki - Angelika and David for giving me all of good experience there.

I was not sure even if I came back to Japan again I will get the same experience but I really want to come back again. I really do.

日本どうもありがとうございます。

Love,
