Tokyo airports-June 2014-C

I don't know if its all Asian airlines, but the few times I have flown on them, it feels like an upgrade from any other flight.  Maybe those are just the only overnight flights I have taken...
I was very lucky in that the middle seat was not occupied and the young teenage guy in the window seat did not take up very much room so I layed across the two seats.  I watched three consecutive movies, all of which made me cry of course. 
TheButler: racism
The monuments men: war
Dallas Buyers Club- AIDS and big pharma

I couldn't really do the food, but the people around me scarfed it down so it was probably not that bad. 
As soon as I got off and through immigration and customs (I had to go through because I'm switching airports in Tokyo), I found the information desk.  I had a couple of options:  I could stay around Narita airport and then try to do the transfer in the morning, OR do the transfer then and stay around haneda airport OR go into town and stay there and then transfer in the morning.  if Heidi had been with me I would have wanted to go into Tokyo, but I decided not to risk it and headed to Haneda via airport shuttle.  in line I met a guy my age in the air force.  he is stationed in northern Japan where my brother will be later this month.  He had the same situation as me, but he had rented a hotel already by Haneda.  we joked about sharing a room and making a pillow wall in the bed, but he has a wife and he said I was way to flirty (who,me?!)
This is how I slept for the night.
Hmmmm
I didnt end up eating :(
So in the last minute I decided to sleep in the airport.  You might be horrified but, this is probably the fifth time i've done this and Haneda airport is so nice for sleeping!  Check the pictures of all the other sleepers.  It was quiet,clean and a good temperature.  I could not do any of the food again and I am really hoping for something good once I go through security. 
best part of this over night amazing toilet room I found.since it was  the middle of the night I didn't feel bad using it, I think it is for people with special needs or children.  It was big, played relaxing music, and had a mini washing basin.  It played the sound of trickling water when you sat down to help you get started-and look at the picture of the ”cleaning and drying options that Japan has for you!  I killed about 30 minutes trying everything out and freshening up.  Much better than the pay for squat toilets in Nepal that had a bucket of water by it for splashing!!!
Like a spa

This never stopped being funny to me!
