At the Airport
Well, waiting for my flight with free internet at the airport after pulling an all-nighter in an attempt to correct my crazy sleep schedule (4-5 AM to 12-1 PM). Slight problem with my luggage while checking in. When I was reading the baggage allowance on Japan Airline's website, I read two pieces of luggage and 20 kg/44 pounds. Without reading it clearly, I assumed I had could bring two pieces of luggage at 20kg each. Unfortunately, it was two pieces of luggage for a total of 20kg. So yeah, I ended up with almost double of the weight limit (39 kg). The airline was kind enough to up the weight limit to 23 kg for me (the allowance for the flight to US) and cut the cost in half for me (which was originally ~$16/kg). Ended up paying ~$130, but at least I am on my way to Japan. Slight hit-tip to James, haha.

Wait, they only let you have 20kg total? That sucks! Where did you leave from, Taiwan? Americans get two bags of 20kg each, I'm pretty sure. Damn...
