Today was a travel day. Flew from Tokyo Narita airport to Doha, Qatar . It was about a 12-hour flight . Arrived in the morning there at about 3:45 am. I couldn’t find out where my gate was located because it wasn’t going to be shown until 4:45 am. The airport was very modern and interesting inside. It was my first time in the Middle East. 

 

I had about a 4 1/2 hours layover before my connecting flight to Rwanda . We took a bus and boarded the plane around 7:45 am, and the plane departed from Qatar at 8:45 am. By then, it was already 35C outside with a scheduled high of 40C in Doha. So hot! It was a 6-hour flight to Kigali, Rwanda . 

 

Finally, at around 1:38 pm, I arrived.

The immigration process at the airport was not too bad either. It went a lot smoother than the person at the check-in counter in Japan was saying to me making me worried about the whole process. 

 

Once I cleared immigration and customs after months apart, my wife and I were finally reunited! So happy to be reunited. 

 

Kigali is a nice city, what little I have seen, and all of the Rwandan people I have met so far have all been so kind, friendly, welcoming, and helpful!
