Due to jetlag, we were able to wake up quite early today without any issues. We leisurely packed up, checked out and then headed to Tsuta Japanese Soba Noodles, where one can eat the famous Michelin-Star ramen. But don’t expect a spontaneous walk-in kind of experience. ...Continue reading

Japan 2.0: Day 1 (Tokyo)
After over 16 hours of watching multiple Hollywood, Korean, and Chinese movies, listening to random podcasts and audiobooks, and eating questionable plane food, we finally landed in Tokyo at their Haneda Airport.

Unfortunately, it was not… Continue reading NYC Day 3: Food and Shopping Galore!

I appreciate being able to proceed at my own schedule. The parking was easy to find and the shuttle service very… Continue reading NYC Day 1: Commuting Adventures
