Worldcon Day -4

The story so far...

Starting at Convention day -4

ln note form on PDA so rather bitty.

Everything is shockingly efficient. Security theatre only took about 10 mins. Gave me way to much time to kill. Decided I didn’t feel lucky enough to gamble £20 on a Supercar.

Eventually we had a gate number. To my delight, my mid-triplet seat was exchanged for an aisle seat. Even better, the middle seat was unoccupied. Better yet, the window seat was occupied by a very nice gal who goes by the name Tamsyn. She was heading to Japan to teach English. And she happened to be a science fiction fan. Told you she was nice.

Airline entertainment systems now have Video on demand. Quite good. Saw Flushed Away. Not bad. Has cute slugs. Dinner was fine. Will avoid airline cooked breakfast in future....

Will post next day in new entry to avoid losing it again.

Worldcon Day -3

Softest landing ever. Narita airport clean & new. Imigration & customs polite, efficient & japanese...

Eventually got to hotel. Had shower. Felt much better.

Went to Yokahama. Looked for somewhere to eat. Found a nice Chinese restaurant. Decor resembled air raid shelter. During meal lights flickered. Shaky noises. Water flooded in. Quite cool!

Looked for Con Centre. Met 2 Japanese Jack Sparrows. Took photo of them. Took photo for them. Found con centre. Bumped into The-magician. Followed him to hotel. Met more geeks. Chatted about blowing things up.
