I can not believe this, but I think this should be treated as a hint that my journey throughout this wonderful country is soon to be over… buying a pack of these super tasting UFO noodles I did not notice but the clerk put a fork in my bag whereas one usually would get a pair of chop sticks… yes you see that even this guy knew it is time I get used to fork and knife again… please, do not ask why I do not have a great dinner out on my last day… because than I would get all angry about the fact that Japan still does not accept credit cards in the most places – and I simply run out of cash (and no, the ATM´s do not accept credit cards from Europe neither and no my hotel does not change money and no the banks are closed too)… but well than what better way to celebrate the last day of such a journey than with a ready made noodle dish straight from the family mart next door… besides my culinary delight tonight I know I still owe you many stories from my trip in the north (and there were some), but please be patient as I will type them up in the plane so that I get more time to enjoy now my last “real” Japanese dinner in… ahh, the other picture is taken from my hotel room and yes, the skyline is simply that colorful – you simply have to love this country…
