Hello from Tokyo, where I am spending the night - on the airport floor. I'm one of the lucky ones, some have been stuck here since Friday. It's 2:30 AM and in this, the second-largest city In The world, the airport rolls up its sidewalks like some backwater outpost in Montana. The airline passed out top ramen and chopsticks -no microwave, though so I'm not sure what they expect us to do with them. Looks like we'll get out of here at 1:00 tomorrow. This debacle was the result of a chain of events starting with a snowstorm that shut the airport down. Snow! We spent hours on the plane before they announced the flight was cancelled, then made us wait another hour before we could get off. Most of my fellow prisoners -and make no mistake, we are literally prisoners - are Filipinos and taking it in stride as is their way. The Americans however are incensed and circulating a petition for a class-action lawsuit. Sorry for the typos and lack of formattin, I'm typing this on la liittle tablet. At least they have free wifi.
