Travel log.

Another hectic trip. Weather was awful most of the time but was fun and exciting at the same time. On departure day, the
Breitling Aerobatic team was also leaving for Thailand. Experienced rare spring snow in Beijing and almost cannot land in Xiamen because of fog.

Japan travel log!

            Been a while but better late than never! Finally made it to the land of the rising sun, always been a dream of mine. Its early February and my travels takes me to Fukuoka, Osaka and finally to Tokyo. Winter is stubbornly still clinging on with snow on the second day in Fukuoka.
Cabin crew, prepare for landing! 

Japan is like what I imagined it to be, clean, polite, efficient and like a friend of mine said...refined. 

Canal city, that's near where we stayed. Literally a canal pass through a modern mall with our hotel right besides it. All the bright lights at night with eating and 
entertainment spots dotted all around the Nakasu area. 

Fukuoka is well known for their Ramen!


Best beef in town!


Plenty of sites to see and a good bicycle tour would be recommended.

Nest stop.....OSAKA.

Kansai International airport, built on a man made island.One thing that strike me about Osaka is the expansive elevated highways.
Most expensive taxi ride from terminal to city!!!




Awesome terminal!

 Yummy food south Osaka near the foothills!

View from hotel, Suminoe ward, Osaka Prefecture.


Lastly but surely the big city.....TOKYO!!!Landed in Haneda in gloomy weather!
Sexy  Falcon7X  nxt to us in RJTT

Stayed in the vicinity of Ginza!

One of the must do thing near Ginza is to visit the Tsukiji fish market and have the freshest sashimi and sushi in town.

 Can't get better than this! Brunch at the smallest sushi restaurant at Tsukiji!!!



Also at Ginza

Japanese Whisky!!
