Osaka Airport

Got off the plane okay — the humidity does not go unnoticed!

Got on the shuttle train okay, but left Joss behind…

Whilst waiting in the queue for customs, a little girl, aged 5, gave me a folder paper crane out of a customs declaration form; I was very touched that that little girl had gone to the effort of making me a paper crane and in return I presented her with some English money (which she collects from around the world in a money box at home). She said the money was very beautiful.

At 20:30, we’ve been on the ground for about 3.5 hours and we’ve still got a 1.5 hour coach journey after this to our Ho-Ho families. We were meant to leave Osaka airport at 18:00!!!
