2023年6月4日,星期日,东京之行第九天
今天回家啦,东京的天气竟然格外的好,阳光明媚,下午5点的飞机,本来买了下午一点的成田特快的票,整理好行李后,觉得可以赶上12点38的那班特快,就去新宿站顺利地换了票。回程顺风飞行,8个半小时的平稳地到了旧金山机场,终于回到了我熟悉的安静的大农村,感觉真好。
Sunday, June 4, 2023, the ninth day of the trip to Tokyo
We are going home today. The weather in Tokyo was exceptionally good, the sun was shining brightly, and the plane was schedule to depart at 5:00 p.m.
We originally bought a 1:00 pm ticket for Narita, but after we got to the Shinjuku Station we decided to catch an earlier train. On the return flight, we flew with a tail wind and arrived at San Francisco Airport smoothly after 8 and a half hours (and arrived earlier than when we left!) I finally returned to the quiet life I am familiar with. It feels really good.
东京之行什么感觉?感觉像是观看了一场盛大的烟花表演,领略到了这个国际大都市的活力和魅力。
People ask, “What was your trip to Tokyo like?” I say, it feels like watching a grand fireworks show and enjoying the vitality and charm of this international metropolis.
东京之行没能如愿的是什么?看舞妓表演,看相扑比赛,去宫崎骏的博物,去草间弥生的博物馆,和当地人更有深度的沟通,去富士山一日游,去那个著名的海鲜市场。
What things do I wish we had done in Tokyo? Well, there were many things: Watching a maiko performance (Geishe girls), sumo matches, going to Hayao Miyazaki’s museum, going to Yayoi Kusama’s museum, communicating more deeply with locals, visiting Mount Fuji for a day trip, and going to the famous seafood market. Well, there is always the next trip!
