Arrived in Japan on Saturday at around 6:00PM Japanese time. I should have been there three hours before that time but I ran into some difficulties with shitty air line that rhymes with United. If you guessed United you are well on your way to succeed in this crazy world. So let's start with that part of the story first and then I can elaborate the experiences I've been having for the past day or so.
Alright so I arrive at the United Kiosk one hour and forty-five minutes before my scheduled and 2 month in advanced pre-booked flight. The kiosk says there something wrong and I need assistance from one of the United employees. One comes and tries to help but says I need some other guy with more authority and I should sit put until one comes. Alright I sit like a good patient man but don't even get help from a dude until one and five minutes before my flight leaves. The schmuck was helping regular customers put tags on their baggage when they had like five regular employees to do that job compared to the one guy that had the power to help me. I finally had to start yelling, "Hey,hey I really need your help." When he gets there he finally tells me that they sold my seat and so my sister and I got angry started yelling had to wait another 20 minutes so the guy above him told us that he couldn't help us so we have to wait in line to go to customer service. We waited in that line for another 20 min so that lady could tell us she couldn't help us. I told we'll wait right here until you get someone who has the ability to help me. They went and got the same guy that told us to go to customer service. That guy again told us he couldn't so I said, "get someone who fucking can." My original flight was already on it's way off for take off incase you were wondering. Lady came out and let's just say a lot yelling took place and it took this woman 40 min to get me another ticket to Japan. But before that they were trying to get me and my sister to admit that we didn't come early enough to the airport to get on an international flight and I pretty much told them that's bull shit. So I get a flight on Singapore air and everything is day light on their side of the airport. As soon as I walk-in people were trying to help me. I love Singapore I'm never taking an American airline outside of domestic use. The service and attitude so crappy that I'm willing to pay a couple of extra hundred dollars to get what seems 100x better service. Next thing I'm worried about is my schedule arrival has changed and I need to somehow contact my bosses at 4:00 in the morning Japan time and tell them that United really screwed up my flight and I'll be late. Got a phone card and I had to leave two of them messages and kind of pray to all sorts of higher authorities( God, Jesus, Allah, Muhammad[can you actually pray to muhammad?] Buddah[the happy asian god], Vishnu and Freddy Mercury for good luck. Flight was awesome I had two free full meals, lots of snacks, and juice whenever I so desired.(I'm from my fellow co-workers that the American flights gave them one meal, two snacks, and none of the movies of games were free. sounds like crap.) I kind of lucked out flying with Singapore Air. It was a curse and a blessing that United screwed me over. Anyways more stories to come but I have to get ready for training and expect some pictures to start popping up soon.

It's always nice to have a positive start at a new journey. Sounds like the people at american air companies suck dude, glad you eventually got over there.

I'm glad something good came out of that. Flying to a new place is stressful enough, you don't need bastard air companies making it worse. We already miss you over here. We signed up for skype, now all we need is a mic and we're good to go. Can't wait to hear about how its going.
PS) Chris wants to replace you with Floyd. He calls him our Wade stand in. :)
