Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Airports! If you don’t travel a lot by airplane, airports can be very confusing. Especially if everything is in Japanese. Your friend told you in Japanese, “I am at the spa. It is near the ticket counter and the exit.” A spa in an airport? Does that make any sense? Wouldn’t the ticket counter be near the entrance, not the exit? What confusion! How are you going to be able to find her in this crowd? And you’ll probably get some really strange looks if you start asking people in Japanese, “Where can I find the spa in this airport?” You really begin to wonder about a spa in a Japanese airport. What’s it like? Do they have announcements in Japanese about plane departures and arrivals in the spa? Wouldn’t that disrupt the serenity? Isn’t a spa a place to get away from all the noise and bustle of life? After all this hassle, you’ll need some peace and quiet yourself. Hmmm…maybe you should come back to the Japanese airport spa after you get your work done for the day.

Well, what I can say is that I once went to pick up my friend at the airport with her family (she was returning from Japan, by the way).

We arrived exactly at the time her planning was landing. The only problem is that we saw all the passangers and the crew going out and she never appeared.

As she was the first one to go on board, she was the last one to pick up her luggage. As a result, we had to wait more than 2 hours (stood up) until she could finally get to the lobby!!! :sad:

遅い。
冬果さんは何処ですか。
いないです。
そうだ。もしもし、私は松山の到着ロビーにいます。冬果さんは何処にいますか。
もう、空港にいます。ごめん、私はまだエステにいます。
それは空港の中にありますか。
はい、チッケトカウンターの前です。出口の近くです。
はい、そこへいきます。
