So after a 3 hour delay, we finally left LAX and headed towards the Narita Airport in Tokyo- which took 10 hours. We were supposed to have a 2 hour layover where we were planning to eat REAL ramen and explore the shops, but because of our delay we boarded our next plane to Manila right afterwards.
The whole plane ride, I was watching a ton of movies, listening to awesome music, sleeping and eating. Airplane food actually isn't half bad, just like a TV dinner you'd pop in the microwave. I'm rambling.
Anyways, the whole plane ride and even when we were at the Tokyo airport, it still hadn't settled that I will be here, all the way across the Pacific Ocean for the next 9 days, but I think it's just now starting to feel that way.
As soon as we got off the plane in Manila, we were blasted with heat and humidity! We waited in the immigration lines for probably 45 minutes just packed like sardines with strangers, all sweating together. That's what I call bonding haha. After we got through that line, picked up or bags and walked through customs, we boarded two separate shuttles and headed to Tony's house (which is freaking nice btw).
It was a relatively short ride, but as soon as we hit the local neighborhood lines with squatter homes and store fronts, I was flooded with a bunch of old memories from my last trip which I might explain later. Right as we walked in, we were greeted with platters of rice, lechon and sinigang and we all feasted! It's almost 3AM here, but most of us got our fair share of rest on the plane ride over.
Stay tuned for more adventures to come xo
^^ Here is the first picture we took at the Manila airport of the Mayon Valcano- no it is not the real thing lol
