My flight
01/19/2007
Hello Everyone!!
I left San Diego Airport on Friday at 8:30am. During the first ½ hour of the flight, I didn't interact with anyone, until I had to start a conversation so I could make some connections. So I met two people who where sitting on my isle. One was a gentle man who works for a Company called "Eye Tactical" and manufactures equipment for Training & Combat Scenarios. He does a lot of business abroad and some of their parts are manufactured in China. He is the VP of Sales Marketing, so I tried to gain as much information as possible about his company practices and exchange business cards. The other person I met was a girl from San Diego who was a Psychology student.
Once I arrived to San Francisco, I barely had time to look at the screen and called Sandy who told me the gate number and I had to walk a little while before I found my way to the boarding gate for my flight to Japan. This flight was full, and many of the people around me looked young-so I imagined they were students going to study abroad as well, so I was so curious that I started asking and I was right, not to be surprise that almost everyone I met was going to Kansai Gadai University. The students I met in the flight were 2 guys from Florida, a Chinese girl from LA, her name is Seraphina Wong and a Japanese guy from San Francisco. We all talked through the flight, exchange e-mails and I tried to ask as many questions as possible to the people who had previously visited Japan. Sandy and I had separate sits, but I would go stretch out and go talk to her once in a while throughout the flight. Hence, I met 2 graduate students who where going to Japan to teach English for 1 year. One of them had a lot to say about Japan since she had previously studied at Kansai Gadai University. After a 12+ hours of flight, talking to people and watching 2 movies, I did not feel tired but my neck was so stiff, yet I couldn't hold my smile, I felt too excited about finally being in Japan.
