Wish I can stay in a place like this forever

This morning I woke up to this view from my room

I have never seen the Sushi chef at the businesslounge ...I wouldn't be surprised he is at the Suite lounge.

I like the ANA lounge, much better than the JAL lounge.

Sushi available at the ANA business lounge (both of them) from 5pm. Froggy's picture upthread was taken at the 50s gate ANA lounge. Mine below is from the 40s gate.

Japanese food looks so healthy compared to Thai food. If you want to live longer, you should stay in Japan.

Living long is a burden to oneself and others. I’ll live in Bangkok.
