My flight to Tokyo


Important thinks first: Lufthansa charges 1 kg of extra baggage with 30 €. That makes 120 € for 4 kg of extra baggage… Keep that in mind if you travel with Lufthansa. I did not.

The flight itself (Frankfurt to Tokyo) took 11 hours and I made first contact with the Japanese people. My seat neighbor, a nice older Japanese lady, taught me good Japanese eating habits. That is, saying “Itadakimasu” before starting to eat and “Goshiso-sama deshita” after finishing a meal. The travel guide tells us that is some kind of grace, meaning “I will receive” and “It was a real feast”, respectively. The seat neighbor next to my etiquette teacher, a younger Japanese lady, told me about the extremely full subways in Tokyo during rush hours and did not forget to mention that, even if I may stand very close to woman, I should never touch her (intentionally). So much about the creepy first impression I must have made.

Special praise to the very nice stewardess staff :)
