Almost There

At this moment, we're sitting in the Narita airport in Tokyo, Japan. We are dead tired because we didn't sleep much on the flight here. We left Houston at 10:50 am on Thursday and arrived in Tokyo at 2:15 pm on Friday. But, it was about 12:15 am in Houston so right when we got tired on the plane it was time to land. Now we're sitting in an unfamiliar place fighting sleep until our flight to Manila at 7:15 pm or something like that.

I feel like I'm in a dream. Surely I'm not really in Japan. Although, all the signs written in Japanese and the people walking around speaking Japanese keeps reminding me that I am. I've seen 2 black people so far. I know that's not really news but it was still something noticeable.

What else? Oh, we went to the bathroom. And, of course, they have the whole in the ground toilets. But they also have regular toilets too. The funny thing here is that they have 4 controls on the toilet. 1) music to play while you're doing the do 2) bidet 3) spray - that's the label but it's too spray the frontal feminine parts or vajayjay as Oprah calls it. I don't remember the fourth but it wasn't that big of a deal I guess.

Okay, I gotta go because I am dead tired and don't really feel like writing more. Before I go, the kids did exceptionally well on the plane ride. I was stunned!

I can't get over the different buttons for the toilet. That is very interesting. I am laughing right now and I can't stop.

laughing mainly because there are multiple comments and because I had a patient yesterday who referred to feminine parts as her vajayjay and it's always interesting to me how difficult it is for people in the ER to talk about their private parts despite that a lack of embarassment got them in the predicament they're in.
