離台灣之旅有整整一年，我等了這天實在太久！
今天終於放下大學讀書的包袱，帶著我學了一年多的破爛日文和一輛二手Giant
TCR，向新目的地出發吧！
謎之聲：（喂，日本比台灣大，有些地點補給點稀少，你到底能不能安全回來？）
我：………
It's been a year after the Taiwan trip, I've been waiting for this day so long!
Finally, it's my turn to have my graduation trip. This time I'm bringing my second-hand road bike - Giant TCR to my next stop: Japan!
Unknown voice: Hey dude, Japan is bigger than Taiwan, d'you really think you could come back safely??
Me: ........
各人在家中收拾行裝！
Packing personnel stuff......
把車子打包入紙箱是一個大麻煩，一來因為在香港根本找不到合適大小的紙箱，二來要把箱子包裝得穩固，使其撞不破。單車組的阿武在各大單車店找了4, 5天都找不到，最後無奈要從紙業廠買來3個，然後乘的士到我家集合。（連車費盛惠港幣一百大元！）
Packing our bikes into a box for checking luggage is difficult. Finding a box for our bikes in Hong Kong is even more difficult! Kamo had been searching for 4-5 days yet did find nothing. In the end, we bought 3 boxes from paper box factory...
媽呀，紙箱大的霸占整個後座席！
OMG, the paper boxes occupied the whole back seat!
隨便在關鍵位置 – 手柄、前叉、齒盤、變速器、座管等加些bubble紙（氣珠包裝膠紙bubble wrap）以免撞爛。還謹記要放掉輪軚內的氣、航空公司託運單車可是要求放氣的。
Put on some bubble wraps on key parts (handle bars, crank, derailleurs, seatpost, etc...) before loading into the box. Do remember to release the gas inside the tires, which is a rule set by most airlines companies for check-in bicycles.
來個包箱的藝術！
Art of packaging.
我媽也來加入戰團！
Mum is helping, I love you mum!
一番辛苦後終於完成旅程的第一個挑戰。出發前拍照留念吧！
The very first task of the journey is done. Let's take a pic before leaving!
我們乘坐的是樂桃航空，這所航空公司一年前首航，一直走廉價航空路線。我們2月時從網上訂票時才HKD$999，便宜得很！只是沒有飛機餐、不能選位置、飛日本的航班也只有0035開出的深宵時間。但這些對我們單車背包客來說絕不是什麼問題！
We are having the Peach Aviation, which is a new, low cost carrier. The ticket were bought in February and it only cost HKD$999 (Tax incl.) and that's economic! The only drawbacks is: You have no meals, you don't choose your seat and the time of flight is 0035 - when you should be on your bed in ordinary days. As backpackers, anyway, we give zero fxcks towards that!
咦? 我在幹什麼? 原來我在貨車上記起忘了帶拆出來的螺絲，下車後趕緊找清楚袋子裡頭有沒有。結果當然是沒有的，大意的奴奴又要勞煩母親大人坐長途車運來。這個二十四孝媽媽當真了不起！
I forgot to bring the screws of my bike and I just realized in the van! After checking my bag with negative answer, I immediately called my mum to get them to me! Its 12:00 midnight and she still brought them to me... Oh, I love you mummy~~~~
好了，先check-in再等媽媽吧！找來一輛手推車。
Alright, mum is on the way now~ Just calm down, take a trolley and check-in first!
我的TCR，大阪關西空港見吧！地勤們，麻煩小心搬運我的愛妻，否則奴奴要殺了你！
My sweetie TCR, let's meet again in Kansai Airport.... Please take care of her, guys. If I found her broken, I'll have your neck broken!!!
從媽媽手中獲得螺絲一袋之後就過海關了。前往登機口要乘無人列車，最近幾次出境好像都安排些偏遠登機閘口給我呀，真倒霉。
Yeay, you've acquired a bag of screws! Next quest: Passing the custom and get to the boarding gate.

日本，我來了！
Japan, here I come!
預計到達時間為0525，把一個小時時差算進內也就是有4小時在飛機上吧。那就讓我們睡一睡，預備第一天的大戰吧。晚安！
ETA: 0525 - Subtracting the one hour time difference we have 4 hours to sleep. So, good night~~~
