Happy 2012 & Trip Report

Happy New Year's to Everyone!
I can't believe how fast the year has gone by.
Wishing you health, happiness, and good fortune in 2012!


I guess the last day of the 2011 is as good as any to start my trip report.
Our vacation to Taiwan had a brief stopover at Tokyo's Narita Airport.
A giant Gundam greets us as we enter our first stop at a toy store.


What's a toy store without a full collection of Ultraman figures.


No, this is not a restaurant, but the same toy store that also sells miniature food replicas. For a 5,000 yen ($65 USD or $50 Euro) replica, eating real food is cheaper.


A nearby airport eatery offers this menu. Yep, real food is less expensive than the replica.


Without any yens in my pocket, I opted for the inflight meal on All Nippon Airlines on my way to Taipei.

A happy New Year with lots of blogging and good health. As you said, time flies, the year is gone already. I am sure 2012 will be as fast.

Greetings,
Filip

On some airlines it's difficult to tell the difference between real and plastic food, urgh.

Happy New Year.
