Kind of panic when i was an hour off my supposed planned schedule to head airport.
I dragged by luggage back to the little street mazes before reaching Osaki station on the Yamonote line, and heads all the way out of Ueno Station to board the Skyliner.
Wishfully thinking that there was a 1540 train, I was struggling to meet in time to reach the station by then, only to be signalled by the station master that the next express train was 1600!
Dead, my flight back was 1805 and i need to check-in my luggage! The express train reached at 1700 Narita Airport Terminal 1, and i thought to myself I am going to miss the last checkin timing!
Well, thankfully the day eventually went well. The checks at the airport were very strict. Before boarding the plane, just another 20 mins before the flight is scheduled for departure, I was checked by the security.
My shoes were removed, inner soles checked! Every pockets in my backpack were emptied. Even my laptop went unescaped. I was told even to bootup my laptop. :-O
Kinda scary. My trip from Shanghai to Tokyo was met with equal security check too. I was quizzed alot of dumbfounded questions like 'How long am I staying, what i am doing there, for what reason, where i will be staying.....' Omg!
In sum, the overall trip has been a great holidaying trip, put aside my studies!
