72 More Hours

(A picture that even I am unfamiliar with. Stupid haircuts!)

After Rob has left Japan, he went to Taiwan to visit his father for a week. On his return to flight to New York, he has to stop at Narita for a few hours. Meanwhile, it was snowing heavily. Consequently, airplanes have ceased to depart, leading all the passengers to be stuck in the airport.

Rob's 4 hour flight from Taiwan to Narita has prolonged due to the weather. He was not only stuck in the airplane, he had to spend the rest of the night at airport with no cash on hand. Meanwhile, I was with the homestay family when I found out about the news at 11 pm. Throughout the night, we emailed each other back and forth until 4 am.

The next morning, I broke the news to the homestay family, ending the visit short. They sympathized and escorted me to the train station soon after our breakfast.

Rob booked the flight on Tuesday, giving us 3 extra days to spend with each other. For 3 days, we cuddled in joy, watched DVDs, and pigged out. Before he left, he even bought me groceries. My fridge is now packed. (Unlike before, I was too poor to eat anything else but instant ramen.)
