Lost in translation: Tokio dag 1
August 21, 2007 - Tokyo, Japan
Tot zover dus Nederland. Laatste impressie: Hoek om,pijp uit, kist in. Laatste broodje ham/kaas van Debby. Tenminste, ik neem even aan dat de stewardess Debby heette. Ik heb in 14 uur vliegtijd niet kunnen ontdekken of dat echt zo was.
