Japan 2009

Well for each of the past three years I’ve been able to make it out to Japan for some sightseeing and visiting.

The above was taken at Calgary International Airport. It’s the line up for Air Canada departures. I was a bit stressed as the line up moved really slowly and was incredibly long. Thankfully though I made it in time for my Vancouver connection.

I might be wrong on this one but I believe that is the town of Banff.

Taking Japan Airlines Flights can be fun as they offer a couple of views from externally mounted cameras.

Another thing that makes Japan Airlines unique, (well at least from any other airline that I’ve ever been on) is that they offer exercise videos to help you stretch from your seat.

It might be difficult to see but if you look closely you’ll see three hands way up in the air!

    Always have a penchant for travelling with JAL every time we go to Japan ourselves. Seeing the flight attendant wore their aprons when serving food was fun enough for us. :D
