Getting to the US is a lot of work. Different from 10-15 years ago-according to my dad going to the States was really easy. Preparation to go to Austin, Texas for the APEC 2008 conference, started with the visa application-required lots of documents, application fee of USD 100 and an interview at the US Embassy in Tokyo. The interview only lasted less than 1 minute. Going there, I had to undergo secondary security check when boarding the plane to Austin at Narita Airport and to Tokyo from Bergstrom Austin International Airport.
At Narita, had a Boiled-egg Shoyu Ramen. The alarm of rings to let you know your food is ready.
Walked from my hotel to the Austin city center on the arrival day. Needed to stay awake until the actual sleeping time-to get rid of jet lag soonest possible.
