Countdown

So, soon I will be freezing my ass off at the airport. The cheapest flight was also the one with most "adventures", so I have to be at the check-in desk at around 4 a.m. and I think anyone who's been in Poland can imagine that October nights are not the most pleasent ones...

But it's bad to start an epic story such as mine (modest, ain't I?) in a depresed tone, so let's drop the subject for now. I'm happy that I can leave Poland before November which always got top scores on my "most hated time" list and bask in the Japanese sun whilst enjoying temperatures over 20 Celsius degrees.

This day was full of packing, running around to say good-bye, getting my dry-ceaned jacket in the middle of a raging storm and so on. As it turns out I didn't even graze my weight limits for baggage, which is a nice surprise indeed. Check-in baggage is only 18 kilos (for 23 allowed), and hand baggage is 6 (for 12 allowed). Phew!

Now, I'm going to enjoy my well-deserved beer that will hopefully help me fall asleep early, so I can be ready to face this ungodly 6 o'clock departure...
