Yen: Cheap and Delicious

Fresh and so good!

Japan has the best food in the world.  Cheap, clean, and delicious.

Todays rate:  155 Japanese yen = $1 USD

Ramen and Typhoon

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!

Sunny side UP!

Lucky you live in Hawaii…
