Not only was I in the middle of 5 seats but my seat was broken and wouldn't recline fully! And then they lost my requested vegetarian meal!
But I survived. And so here I sit in Tokyo's Narita Airport where the air conditioning has been turned off due to the Fukushima meltdown, and the internet is atrociously slow for such a supposedly modern country. However! The toilets have lots of buttons.
