I was scheduled on an early flight from Beijing so I got up even earlier and got into a taxi without having breakfast. The ride to the airport was smooth though a little bit slow. Checkin was quick and I passed security without problems. I had almost no time for buying some gifts in the tax free shops and then I had to board.

Once aboard the airplane I just relaxed listening to music and waiting for the departure. Then the announced it was delayed due to the heavy rain and thunder over Beijing 🙁 I was back in Tokyo much later than I expected and hoped for, no time to get to the office before I had to do volunteer work… Tonight we were preparing for this weekend’s flee market to collect money for Kobuchihama.
