Crossing borders during a global pandemic
From Asia to Europe
NRT — DBX
Something very important that I learned after being trapped in Japan for 8 months is to remain calm and do things one by one. However, as the clock ticked and the time to leave Narita airport came closer, tension increased.
“I have to transfer 3 times.” “Did I bring all the documents that I have to present at each counter?”, “Where did I leave the PCR test results?”, “What about my passport?”, “WAIT, I CAN’T FIND THE INVITATION LETTER!”, “Nevermind, I just found it.”
My hands were sweating as I was walking towards boarding control. They punched a hole in my new residence card and I went in. As I was waiting sitting in front of the gate, I heard my name on the speakers “WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?” “Oh, they just forgot to give me one of the boarding passes”.
I got on the plane, slept, and in the blink of an eye I was at the Dubai International Airport.
