Monday 12th of October, first day of my trip

Hello, This is my first Blog about my travels. I will place some text and fotos about my trip to Japan, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. I started my travel on monday the 12th of October @ 6.00am from Holland. I took the train from Rotterdam to Utrecht, had to change over to the ICE which went straight to Frankfurt Airport. On the ICE we had a police control, first of all a man with a dog (maybe Rex, the policedog) came thru the wagons and then some undercover police, German and Dutch policeman. They didn't check everyone but they did asked me for my ID, why me... do I look like a terrorist or a drugdealer?? It could be that I had a backpack with me or was it the guy next to me. He was from Nigeria and they asked him for his ID as well. But even more, they searched his little handbag and as well took they some samples from both his hands. He got upset because of violating his privacy etc... anyway on the end nothing found so the police took off. After arrival @ Frankfurt Airport I went to the check in, asked for a place at an emergency exit but got the seat behind it. I always take an aisleseat because I like to stretch my legs and get out once a while. When we were seated the attendent asked me to change seat which this Japanese girl who was sitting at the emergency window exit seat but couldn't speak english or german. They asked me if I could speak english or german because in case of an emergency I had to help and unlock the exitdoor. I had a glance over and noticed there was plenty of legroom so offcourse, thank you ... Haha had a good chair (small though) but good legspace. We took off from Frankfurt Airport 15 minutes after schedule @ 14.45. About 10.40 hrs later we arrived @ Kansai International Airport on tuesday morning 08.30 and I bought a tramticket for the city. The tram drove about 50 minutes thru suburbs of Osaka, looking like small villages, when I arrived near the city, Tennoji Station. Here I had to change for the subway for another 4 stops before I got off at Tanimachi-4-Chome, which is @ the Osaka Castle area. From here I walked 2 blocks for reaching my little studio @ Weekly Mansion Osaka at Otemae.About 10.40 hrs later we arrived @ Kansai International Airport on tuesday morning 08.30 and
