I just returned from a flying visit to Tokyo for work. Such an amazing city and still one of my all time favourite places in the world.
I took a day flight home which was a little indulgent for a work day... I think being on a plane is one of those few times in this day and age when you can truly 'disconnect' from the world (although I know some airlines are now offering wi-fi). I spent a lovely 7 hours on my own watching movies, eating, reading and sleeping. It's been ages since I have done that!
I flew with ANA so they had a great selection of Japanese films and one caught my eye. It's called "Like Father Like Son" and I loved it. I cried. The film picked up the Jury Prize in 2013 at Cannes and is a story about two families whose sons were switched at birth. The film so beautifully deals with themes such as nature vs nurture and family dynamics. As a parent, I think it definitely affected me more than it would've if I had watched it pre-baby. Regardless of whether you are a parent or not though, I recommend you find it and watch it!
