Heading back to UK ... at Narita Airport







It was an exhausting but very successful trip to Japan. We managed to pack so much into a relatively short time and I'm heading back to the UK feeling very optimistic, despite the current global economic downturn.
After check-in I had time to explore some more of the unusual and often futuristic services at Japanese airports; more evidence of the vending machine culture was presented by a bank of machines offering travellers last minute travel insurance (no humans required!), a chance to top up on Oxygen at the "OxyBar" (customers can sit inside and inhale flavoured oxygen through the nose or mouth) - incidentally the OxyBar is located right next door to the 'smokers room' .... a nice touch if you wish to dash from one to the other! There was also one last chance to top up your Edy wireless IC card (but I could not understand why you would want to do this just before you leave Japan!?!)
