My first thought is I'm gonna take the Narita Express. I will check email when i get to singapore airport where i will spend the night. I have one problem. My two bags I checked in, I mean packed are HUGE and HEAVY. I hope it's not a problem. And I hope its not too much to store at the airport in Tokyo. Okay, I better get going!!!! aduhhhhhhh...... Aloha, Jeff Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 06:03:00 -1000 (HST) From: Jeff <esmond@hawaii.edu> To: Undisclosed recipients: ; Subject: my new home Hi, Well I'm scouting around the airport for a place to set camp because who knows how long I may end up here. I'm at Singapore Airport and I guess I was literally taking off from Jakarta when the events in New York began. I'm flying United in 7 hours but who knows what will happen. In spite of that I had a great day in Jakarta and I'm very sad to leave Indonesia and kinda wish I was there right now instead of at the airport. Unfortunately I cannot acces the Business class lounge for United until it opens at 4:30 am. which is the time I can check in. After a lot of hassle I managed to check my two giant bags straight through to Narita from Jakarta while reducing the overweight baggage fee by hundreds of dollars. All this I managed to do in Indonesian. Maybe thats what helped?

Hi Emi, Did you see the news before you went to sleep or after you wake up? I guess it happened as I was taking off from Jakarta and I'm here in Singapore Airport and really feeling kind of alone and who knows how long I may be here if United tstops flights, nonetheless I assume there will be delays due to heightened security. Can you keep track of my flight so you know when to expect me? Unitd 890. I cant wait to see you and get through this flight.

So it took me all nite because no one wants to do anything or its all closed. Finally at 4:30 the united desk opened and i was the first person. they told me they'd try to get me through Hong Kong. People with destinations in the US were given hotels and told to expect a few days. Finally at about 7:00 which is a few minutes ago I got my ticket and I'm boarding Japan Airlines at 8:00, only 40 minutes after my first scheduled flight direct to Tokyo. I'm glad. I dont wanna stay here. It seems safe here though at the airport, who knows. It's pretty empty all nite and everyone whj flew in didnt know. Most like me passed the tv's and saw the crowds but I didnt wanna sit in front of the tv all nite. I'll try to let you know after I get to Japan. Love, Jeff Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 16:39:20 -1000 (HST) From: Jeff <esmond@hawaii.edu> To: Undisclosed recipients: ; Subject: chicken kiev Aloha, I:m in Tokyo using a Japanese keyboard. would you believe that the first meal here I had was chicken kiev! Emi asked her Mom to make something western after knowing i:ve een eating rice for two months and so chicken kiev it was. I asked her Mom what she called it and I heard a lot of japanese words and then in the middle i heard the word kiev. anyway, i got on the japan airlines flight and it wsnt even full. people whose destination was the US were not allowed on the flight so i guess most people were not just going to tokyo. there were not very many americans onboard and the seat next to me was empty. they woulndt let me convert my united business ticket to buesinsess but it was okay. it was a very quiet flight but i dont think it was because of what had happened but rather because the japanese were just naturally quiet, they didnt have faces of concern like i had so i just relaxed and it was a decent flight. it was an md11, not a 747 to my surprise for th 6 hour plus flight. Each meal got a free little bottle of wine. after i got here, just like last time three years ago, they had to go through my bags at customs. after being travelling for two days via jakarta i wasnt clean shaven. fortunately they didnt go through every thing. i checked my giant bag in for storage but since its so expensive i took my extra heavy bag to tokyo and lugged it around for a long time at shinjuku station which was overwhelming at all the people there running ast me to catch their trains. it was typical jpapanese. the only difference between the packed tokyo trians and the packed jakarta trains was that in jakarta they dont close the doors so that people can hang out andthen they also get on top of the train. anyway, i was so exhausted last nite after barely sleeping at singapore and on the plane that i just had to go to sleep before trying to email. i:m scheduled to fly home on the 24th. i:d much rather be here with people i kno w than in singapore which is so boring even though the foood is so good. but i:@d really rather be back at my little hut in bali.
