Yokohama...

So, I've been sponsored to go to PT yokohama. (full sponsorship) ---Magic the Gathering...

It is 20-22 April and I'm flying on the 18th 7:30 in the morning to JHB (where I have to wait about 2 hours so 4hrs total), then to Hong Kong (20 hrs) then from Hong Kong to Narita (8 hrs)...

Hang on... I forgot to take the time zones into account... well here is my flight plans...
Getting there:

CX 7312 18APR Cape Town / Johannesburg 0730 0930 (this is 2 hrs ,I know that)
CX 748 18APR Johannesburg /Hong Kong 1245 #0755
(this is 20 hrs ,but I'm wondering if it's absolute)
CX 504 19APR Hong Kong / Narita 0910 1435 (5 hrs)

Getting back:
CX 509 24APR Narita/ Hong Kong 0945 1325
CX 749 24APR Hong Kong / Johannesburg 2345 #0655
CX 7313 25APR Johannesburg /Cape Town 1030 1240


Oh and then take a taxi/bus/train to yokohama. 27 km. Not too bad.

It seems like japan is GMT+9 and hong kong is GMT +8. (and SA is GMT+2)

So it's either 32+7 or 32-7... I think it's 25 not 39 hrs. Still 25 hours is still 2x to europe.

I'm surprizingly nonchalant about this. It's not nearly the same excitement I had when I went to Paris. I'm not sure why.

A direct Hong Kong - Johannesburg flight is some 13 hours, so the 20 hours includes some time zones.

Wel yes, it was about 13 hours, but with all the airport waiting time, it is still about 26 hours travel from start to finish (I live 35 min from CT airport
