Tokyo Trip: The Return

Day 4, Part 2
(Austin)

    So, after a train ride of more than an hour and 2 transfers later we arrived at the Tokyo airport. While I really enjoyed Tokyo I was ready to go back to the dorm and relax. We were really worried about taking our stuff on the plane, specifically our posters. The posters were quite tall when rolled up, so they stuck out of the top of our backpacks by a good 6 inches, thus making our backpacks quite big. We considered folding them and other stuff but we were afraid it would mess them up. Luckily, Japan's flight rules are quite lax and they didn't mind the slightly bigger carry-on bags.

    Finally on the plane we took off and headed towards Osaka. We didn't land until later in the evening, so we were racing to get on the last train leaving KIX (Kansai International Airport). KIX is roughly 1.5 hours from our dorm so we were racing against time. The entire time I was fighting the urge to sleep; I was sooo tired.

    To cut a boring story short: We made it to Makino station which is the closest station to the dorm and we walked for 20ish minutes to the dorm. We arrive around 1:30AM, immediately took showers and then went straight to bed. It's been a while since I have felt that exhausted.

    As a note: We arrive in Osaka at KIX on December 31st, but we didn't get back to the dorm until it was already January 1st. Happy New Years :D

No pictures this time, sorry!

Thus the Tokyo trip finished.
