6/26

Today we headed back to Taipei from Osaka. There was a typhoon (we call it hurricane in Texas) approaching so there was heavy rain around Kyoto. We first took the train from Sakurajima to Nishikujo. While waiting for the train that would take us straight to the airport, we saw that the train was cancelled due to rain. We had to had to take another train to Shin-Imamiya and then walked to the subway to take the Airport Express.

Even though it was the Airport Express, it would still take 45 minutes from Shin-Imamiya to Kansai Airport.

Our flight was delayed from 1:10pm to 1:35pm and we got to the check-in counter around 12:15pm. It took us at least 20 minutes to check in and I was able to find a mail box to mail back our Japanese Wi-Fi, which by far was the best one we've used on this trip.

We pass through security and had to take a little airport transportation to our gate and by the time we got to the gate, it was time to board.

My aunt and uncle came a little late to pick us up. It was the last day of school and a Friday, so the traffic in the afternoon around the airport was worse than the rush hour. It took us a while to get back and my aunt bought us dinner before dropping us off.
