Flying from Japan to Turkey during Pandemic🇯🇵🇹🇷✈️~19 hours long flight vlog✌🏻📸
Hi guys, it's me, Judy again. I'm back with another vlog! In this vlog, I will show you what it's like to fly during a pandemic from Japan to Turkey. Before my flight, I decided to get coffee from a convenience store which is in the airport. Because I'm a caffeine addict, I have to make sure that I get my daily dosage.
After getting my coffee, I decided to show you guys around because the airport is beautiful. I think my viewers would be interested, and also, as you guys know, I'm a good girl. By the way, this is a sukiyaki restaurant which is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. It consists of meat that is slowly cooked or simmered at the table alongside vegetables and other ingredients in a shallow iron pot in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and meat. This was a restaurant section in Haneda Airport, but most of the restaurants were closed because of the pandemic. It would be much more interesting to show you guys around if these were open.
I also found an udon restaurant. Udon is a thick noodle made from wheat flour used in Japanese cuisine. It's comfort food for many Japanese people. There are a variety of ways it is prepared and served. I also found a kebab restaurant. I don't know why, but the Japanese call the doner kebab. Like sometimes they even say doner kebab. There is a cool place in the airport where you can settle down and eat something, so I'm gonna show you guys.
Watch me drinking my coffee happily because why not? We couldn't book a direct flight because direct flights cost too much. Airlines know that people who are traveling right now, especially traveling far away, have special reasons to fly—maybe family reasons, or business, or I don't know. So those people will pay no matter what to fly. They set the price as high—very high! So we had a flight first from Japan to France and France to Turkey. I wish I can afford someday to fly business class with my mom. Rudy is going to work hard to make it happen.
Now, tom nail time! Okay, so doors are closed right now and there were only three people in this section. Look at this airplane, it's so empty! I think it's amazing for me, but when you think from the airline aspect, it's like horrible. Look at that! The airplane has taken off now; enjoy the view!
I was watching Ali Abdal's British Airways business class vlog and trying to figure out how to vlog during the flight. I was also trying to inspire myself to be productive during the flight because I think it's an awesome opportunity to get some work done. Because there is no Wi-Fi. I mean, if you pay for it, you'll get Wi-Fi, but I didn't. So anyways, there are no distractions, no notifications, no mails, etc. It’s the perfect time to be productive, isn't it?
After watching videos, my first meal has arrived. They had like two options, I guess. One was curry and the other one was bashoku, so Japanese cuisine. I picked the Japanese one. I think it was a bit salty, and I hate salty food. But in my opinion, Japanese airlines, JAL, has one of the best services and the best foods. After the main dish, as a dessert, they give us Häagen-Dazs, which is my favorite ice cream in the entire world! I like eating ice cream with coffee. I think it tastes 100 times better with coffee.
I'm lactose intolerant, but I do consume dairy. I don't know what's wrong with us lactose intolerant people, but we still consume dairy. Watch me enjoy my food because why not? Now, time for productivity! I guess I was trying to schedule my upcoming videos and trying to decide which video to film first and then edit it, etc. I have more than 100 video ideas, and I want to film all of them ASAP, but I have to make sure to keep my audience interested. So the uploading schedule is extremely important. I do basically everything using Notion, which is my all-time favorite app.
After working for a couple of hours, I got tired and decided to sleep. So I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I came back to my seats and took a nap. I woke up because the first dish was not really satisfying, and I got hungry. So I asked if there isn't food. The flight attendant said that they normally don't have an extra main dish, but we were only 10 or so in the economy class. So they gave me this curry plate which I didn't choose the first time. She also gave me Japanese snacks. I munched on them and did some editing, and then I took another nap.
The last food during this flight was soup, which disappointed me. I mean, I don't hate soups, but I wouldn't buy soup by myself. I would eat it if I'm hungry, but I've never craved soup except miso soup. Do you guys love soup? I'm not a really big fan.
Then we arrived in Paris. I was already tired at that time but surprised when we had another flight after passing the security. I had a chance to film the duty-free shop. My mom was looking at the food because she's a chef, and I was just casually filming around. The last time when I visited France, I remember I ate more than 20 macarons in a day. I was obsessed with macarons at that time. I still love them, but I used to love them more. I was just obsessed with them.
This time, we were flying with the Turkish Airlines. They gave us this hygiene kit. I opened it and, guys, the mask that they gave us was kind of weird. What's that? I tried to find a way to wear it, but it was annoyingly unusable, so I didn't use it. Once again, futon—because your girl is hungry all the time! After eating that, I took another nap. Finally, we arrived in Turkey, got our luggage, and went back home.
Okay guys, so I finally got back to home! I'm gonna, I'm gonna shower and then sleep. I'm so tired. I hope you guys enjoy this vlog and I'll see you in my next video!
