Day 1 - Overnight Flight to Fukuoka, Kyushu via SQ

This trip was planned last minute. Original destination was Tibet but due to bird flu, we changed our destination to Kyushu. Took a packaged tour from SA tours. Day 1 was an overnight flight to Fukuoka, third largest city in Japan via SQ. Breakfast on board. American breakfast - Egg Roll, Sausage and Hash Brown with bread,fruits, muffin, juice and tea. Quite a spread squeezed into a tray

Japanese breakfast - Rice and fish and vegetables

The immigration was pretty fast - there were more Japanese than foreigners. Interior of Arrival Hall of Fukuoka Airport



Outside Arrival Hall - Wow! It was quite warm
