Arrivals

There's a moment when the plane doors open and the combined smell of 300 bodies escapes into the local air. Part of the enjoyment of travel is knowing you're somewhere else, outside your norms, and when it comes to that moment of arrival nothing beats the instant prickly heat and everything that comes with it - walking up the aisle to be greeted by the local temperatures and smells.

Next time I'm back in Tokyo rainy season will have started.
