Big trouble at the airport!!

Few weeks before my flight to Switzerland, I made sure how much luggage I can check at the reception desk. I talked with two different telephone operators, both of them said I can carry 2 or 3 suitcases and 1 hand luggage and it doesn’t matter how heavy the suitcases are. So I carried 2 suitcases which are total nearly 60kg. When I checked in, I was over charged about 250000 yen (2100 Euro)!! Of course I didn’t have enough cash for paying it. And so I didn’t used so much money for it. Of course I complained about it to some staffs at the reception desk. They apologized for it, but also they said they can’t compromise because there are some more customers who have the same problem as me that time.

So I decided to open my suitcases and send some heavy goods by post. It was already 1hour before my flight. Of course still I had to pay overcharge about 50000 yen (420 Euro) but completely less than before so I gave up. I packed up and went to 1st floor to go to post office then I realized, the post office can’t accept any creditcard so I went to 3rd floor to take out money and went to the post office again. Then I needed to write some application forms. Normally when I sent percels from local post office I just needed to write an application form. But the post office is at the airport so I needed to write additional application forms. I was super in a hurry. Then I went to security control. At the same time my name was called as a final call. Ok.. anyway I could take my flight in a really last minute.

A few hours later I realized that I forgot to cry and say “good-bye” to my mother country, Japan!!!
