The Sake Guy
Welcome to Tokyo!winter's cityside
crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
that I'd ever find a glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
you did what you did to me, now it's history I see
here's my comeback on the road again
things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when your big in japan
when your big in japan, tonight
big in japan, be tight, big in japan where the eastern sea's so blue
big in japan, alright, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
things are easy when you're big in japan, when you're big in japan
As a self-admitted VH1 and 80s addict, I couldn't resist doing an entry with this song. All you 80s kids will no doubt recognize this as "Big in Japan" by 80s one hit wonder Alphaville. You may also recall the somewhat creepy video, which is a perfect example of misguided fashion choices in the 80's.
Since the good folks at Delta changed our flight schedule so that we could take the most scenic route possible, we stopped in many airports, including Tokyo Narita. This
Hello Kitty Mousepad
This looked really cute after a couple sake shots, but Stevan wouldn't let me buy it. is my second time stiopping at Narita and I still haven't been to Tokyo yet. Next time.
Narita definitely gets a two thumbs up. It's easy to love a place where you are offered free sake samples less than 5 minutes after you get off the plane.
Although we weren't able to spend any time in Japan, we got a few photos at the airport. I was able to get photos of plastic food displays and the sake guy, but there were no Godzilla statues or pachinko parlors.

so happy fun time for you!
Yay miss Amy! Thanks so much for letting me be a voyeur for your voyage! It's nice to know that you still think of us Winthrop folks from time to time - maybe one day we'll be able to actually SEE each other! I hope that you have very safe travels. Don't kiss any foul while over there! Jealous in Greenville, d.
