I have just completed the longest flight I have ever been on - 13 hours or so. It wasn`t bad (although I would not want to do it in coach!). I had a couple of meals (mmm Japanese food, since I was on JAL), a decent nap, and read a lot. I tried watching Wanted, but boy was it bad - Chicago looked good, though!
Super cool: JAL planes (the one I was on at least) have nose cameras that are on at takeoff and landing! Hope the next flight does too. It would be even cooler if Kai Tak were still in operation!
As we landed in Tokyo, I was disappointed that the scenery below didn`t look very different from anything I`d seen before. I was hoping my first glimpse of Asia would be something completely different. It was beautiful, though; I could see mountains in the distance, as well as some rivers and what looked like farmland.
So now I have about 3 hours to chill out before the flight to Hong Kong. Thankfully the lounge has free internet. I also managed to find a lounge with a shower, which felt fantastic. I loved the restrooms in the lounges - the toilets were heated with multiple bidet options, and I loved the unmistakable signage!

13-hr flight!!! That's almost like a round trip to Poland! You should have hooked up a laptop to those nose cameras so we could see you flying! (almost like launching a shuttle). Have a great time and do not let anybody steal you... Chicago still looks good...
