Aeroflot was better than i expected. Except for the tiny glitch that i had to spend fourteen hours waiting on the Moscow airport (had i got a transit visa, i’d have gone sightseeing, this way i was doing nothing but reading FTW). It was the first airline where the computers were actually working, so i could watch whatever movies i wanted in whatever order, and so i did.
Watched Inception and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Inception wasn’t nearly as brainfuck as it was claimed to be, the only thing that was a bit tricky in the movie is that it ended before we could know what happened to the reality test. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was a nice b-category movie, nothing more.
Not only that, but the meals were better than i’ve ever got on a flight. The crew might not have been the most polite, but that’s only apparent when you are used to Japan and even then you could appreciate that they’re trying at least.
On the way back to Japan they had no movies i would want to watch so i ended up killing my braindead time (when i was too tired to read but i didn’t want to sleep) with some scarily bad russian sci-fi (Inhabited Island was the translated title i think).
It was nice that it was snowing just when i left the train station here at Hikone.
