Fukuoka Memories: Day 8

Today was the last day in Fukuoka before home sweet home. We had to wake up especially early to get ready to go to the airport. The breakfast at the dorm on that day was especially memorable, not because the food was nice, but because we all knew that this was going to be the last meal we're ever going to eat for this Japan trip (excl. lunch on the plane).

I still remember the taste of the dense miso soup, the sticky Japanese rice and the main dish of chicken and beef. It sounds like lunch in Singapore, but that's what they eat in Japan - big servings. So immediately after we finished, the school bus fetched us to the airport, which I expected to be near the coast, but instead it was in the middle of the city area.

So the airport was rather big even though it only had one terminal. There was a long queue to check in at the airline counters, because baggage screening was held there instead of after checking in. So finally we checked in and I bought a lot of 白色恋人chocolate from the duty-free shops inside. Then, we went to board our plane and it took us back to Singapore.

On the way, I watched Avatar, Grown Ups and the Flight Status. I was sitting beside my teacher so I couldn't watched any adult-rated movies. Just kidding. The plane made a smooth landing and before we knew it, we had to exit the plane and I could already feel the humid hot air of Singapore. Aish.. even the airplane's air-conditioner was blowing out white vapor lol.

My father was waiting outside the "inside zone" so once I exited, I took the car home, along with handfuls of foods, toys and miscellaneous items. It was a good trip. Thanks AEP and Fukuoka!
