Layover in Japan and arrival to Thailand

Mexico City to LA to Japan... I was pretty exhuasted by the time I arrived to Japan. I had already travelled more than 21 hours. I was thankful to sit by a guy from Japan that was willing to orientate me for the first time about the Asian culture. He informed me that I would probably not like Thai food so much being that it is so spicy. He was right for the most part! As a person traveling by themself, it is always a huge blessing to connect with others who are willing to help. In the Japanese airport I met a very friendly couple from Thailand who later helped me get through the Thai airport at midnight, pay for my taxi and send me off to my hotel. She later called me at the hotel to make sure that I made it OK. That was just the first of many acts of kindness from the Thai people.
