The plane from Minneapolis to Tokyo was packed, and I was thinking, ‘That’s great. People are coming to Japan.’ Then we arrived at Narita and about 30 people got off the plane. The rest went on to Vietnam.

Maybe the other 30 had other transfers to different parts of Asia. Not everyone wants to go to Vietnam.

Well let's see, radiation fears, very strong Yen, more interesting stuff to see in other parts of Asia..hmmm.... not surprising I'd say.

There are any number of reasons a minority of people disembarked at Narita. What was the airline? What was the time of arrival? Where did the flight originate from?

Minnesota has a very large population of people with Vietnamese heritage.

The plane from Los Angeles to Tokyo had only 70 passengers, and I was thinking, "That's great. These people are coming to Japan to help these earthquake victims. Then we arrived at Narita (originally the destination was UNKNOWN due to Fukushima Nuke spills), and few people got off the plane. The rest went on to the South East Asia. Narita was almost empty upon arrival, I thought I came into a different country, not Japan. The immigration and custom clearance procedures only too a few minutes.
