Departing Seoul for Tokyo

 Mcdonalds? makes sense. Starbucks? ya i can see it. Popeyes?

 On my way to Japan. Got to take a 747.

 Interesting they use a 747 for a short trip like this but this is a busy route between Seoul and Japan with lots of business travel. The plane was mostly asian business men.

 lunch

 This was a Ramen type dish. I had no idea what I was eating or doing. Had to watch and take notes from the people seating around me.

 Here you would use the machine to print your meal ticket then you would give it to the cooks.

 They have a lot of these buses they call "Airport Limousines" which are just greyhound type buses. In both Japan and Korea.

 The first thing I noticed in Japan is the respectfullness in the culture. There is a lot of bowing here from the Japanese and some of the nicest people i've ever met.

 Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport)

 Tokyo

 ANA InterContinental Hotel

 Dinner at a yakitori restaurant (Japanese BBQ) + brewskies. This was authentic as it got

 yakitori restaurant - Japanese bbq. Lots of fish, chicken, and veggies. you would point to what you want and they would grill it up. They even had chicken hearts, couldn't build up the courage to try those.

There are lots and lots of side street bars and restaurants in Tokyo. A lot of people who work in the city stay late and go out for dinner and drinks before they head back home on the subway. It was 10pm and the subway was jam packed with commuters still.

On Thursday a Japense intern is going to take me out to some places. Japan is expecting a Typhoon Thursday .
