How do you get 4 boxes totalling 50kg from Ikebukuro to Narita?
I had to move these 4 boxes from my hotel in Ikebukuro via the Narita Express to the airport. Unfortunately, there were 4 of them and only 1 of me. It was great fun scaling many many sets of escalators and stairs using a method related to "how do you get 3 sheep and 1 wolf to the other side of the river, using a small boat for two".
I did manage though, even if I almost died in the process. It was especially interesting when I put them on an escalator, 1 box every 3 steps, then ran past them to receive them again at the top before they all piled up!

Yeech.
Reminds me of the last time I rode the N'Ex.
I had 2 roller bags, one a carry on size and the other being incredibly heavy and red.
Three weeks of clothes and travel and goodies from all over Asia.
Naturally, since I had a JR pass, I took all of this on the N'Ex.
To get to the platform, I did the same thing on the escalator.
I think I'm getting sympathy pains in my shoulder now... =P

Yes, one thing I learned while living in Japan is I always shipped my luggage ahead of me.
