When ever I plan a trip, I ALWAYS make my layover in Japan. The best food, the best people, and the best culture. There’s no better layover than Japan.
The trick to finding a good ramen shop is by walking around the back alleys and looking for a huge line coming out of a little shop. Wait patiently and you will have some of the best ramen in the world. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with gyoza on the side. All this cost 880 yen. That’s just $5.60!!! This would cost over $20 in Hawaii.
I’m heading to Taiwan tomorrow and thought I’d check the weather report. Guess what? There is a typhoon heading straight there right now. OMG, Taiwan got smashed by a super typhoon last week and now this one? It’s been years since I’ve been in a typhoon so this one should be interesting. Better go buy a rain jacket today!
