On the way to Tokyo

Well, let's "tuck into" the first update from the road - or maybe more
appropriately, the "wing", since we are flying right now. The JAL
flight does not have wireless, so this post will sit in the queue
until we get on the deck in Tokyo. I am ok with that.
The trip to the airport this morning was uneventful, which is good.
The Kaohsiung MRT has a station right at the international airport, so
it was very convenient. The airport itself is of a decent size and
seemed to me to have been built fairly recently (the terminal
buildings, etc.). There was one thing there I would have liked to have
taken a picture of - an green area near the departure gate with a
variety of plants. It was almost like a garden and people were
gathered all around it, chatting and waiting for their flights. In
addition to making the area look nicer, it also made the air in the
terminal smell much fresher than in your typical departure hall. A
nice touch!
Will have more to add soon!
