General Travel in Japan

Breakfast at Nagoya Station's McDonalds



The bread is very soft compared to Bangkok and the meat is very moist and juicy, fries also better its like got more body when bite


Cost 790 Yen or about $10 for the set.

Seats are not comfortable so cannot seat long, guess thats the idea

Taking a stroll in Nagoya around the JR station

 
It's a cold morning



Many people are up and moving



and my 96hrs weekend break is concluding



This morning's trip seems to be faster than the one I came 1hr compared to this 35mins guess with less stops

Hotel that I stayed is also a wedding hall, they built a very nice chapel behind it to organize weddings. Japanese are crazy over western weddings so don't this this is Christian its can be for any religion.

Ok last post on the trip, last Japanese meal on board aircraft

Started with satay



The theme is Sakura so the meal has sakura flowers in it

Green noodle and salad


Have to say noodle taste really good


Next set is the main course


Cod fish


Egg, salmon roe, soya beans, chicken


Salmon with bamboo shoot


More bamboo shoot, sweet and sour veggies etc


Dessert is sakura ice-cream - in the ice creak are petals and even some leaves and thin shoots, the taste is very natural unlike any taste and the texture is also kind of strange to describe but I love it




That's all folks
 
Met a very sweet and young Japanese lady who saw us off the ryokan at Geru









 
I just had a nice holiday in Japan too. Such a clean and orderly country.
