arrived in bali

(written 09:00 Sunday 21 January 2024 WITA)

After our flight landed; we waited for the aisle to clear out. Aju said she felt ドキドキ which I assured her was normal to feel (before such an adventure). I mentioned that I sometimes specifically go toward that nervous feeling (as it often guides me well!)

While leaving the plane, both Aju and one of the flight attendants were surprised I was barefoot.

On the jetway, I was elated. "oh yes so warm!" Even the tile in the airport was warm as I guess it had just been sun-heated most of the day.

Aju and I parted ways with a handshake as I headed to immigration and she headed to her next flight.

I paid 250,000 IDR for a taxi to my hotel about a mile from the airport. My driver said I was his only passenger that day, whereas pre pandemic he would have 5 per day or up to 10 on weekends.

Dropped off my stuff in the hotel room and headed up to chill by the pool.

flight to bali

(written 06:22 Sunday 21 January 2024 WITA)

Halfway through the flight my rowmate Aju and I began talking. She reminds me of me: heading for a year overseas in a new culture.

One funny thing about the flight: the "time until arrival" was pinned to 6 minutes for the duration of the flight.

I just woke up after one sleep cycle. I was up late-ish last night talking to Jess about our upcoming trip to Bali.

There was a group called L7 I heard about via KTRU I think!

quick to replace quill

I've been working on Quick, which I plan to replace Quill because Quill apparently doesn't work with PHP 8.

After enjoying Homeway 90 from 新百合ヶ丘駅 (6:11) to 新宿駅 (nonstop!) and Yamanote Line (6:34) from 新宿駅 to 日暮里駅, I'm gratefully on Skyliner 9 from 日暮里駅 (7:05) to NRT Terminal 1.
