Day 9 "Japan Kicks Us Out"

 

To the Airport.  Last day, Japan has had enough of us and we well at least I, am tired of being the tallest in a country.  The random people walking up to me and touching my arm I guess to see if I was real was getting kind of weird too.  I didn't understand it.  People would come up to me and just squeeze my arm or touch me and poke me.  I assumed that it was just a Japanese thing and decided not to be offended by it.  In either case this was a 9 day trip which includes the days spent on the airplane.  So, day 9 is spent flying back home.  First we drive to one airport to fly to another.  Japan has two airports.  Both are near the center of Japan and relatively close to each other.  This doesn't really make sense to me to have two airports so close to each other but one's an international airport and the one that's close to us isn't.  So we have to drive to the closer one, fly to the international one, then fly home.  So we're at the airport hanging around waiting for our flight when I see this:

This is the first time in all my travels of Japan do I see Pocky.  I've been in Japan for more than a week and only when I leave do I see Pocky.  If you don't know what Pocky is and you can't figure it out from the picture than there's not much else I can do to help you.  Go to any Asian supermarket and buy a box, try it, you'll like it.

Don't know if you'll like this though:

I found this near the pocky boxes.  I dunno, would you want to eat something called "collon" before an international flight?  That, and it's green... yum.
