Narita Airport Cafeteria

G’day mates! Howzit going?

Jason and I have been travelling for a while now, and though our bodies were in a state of confusion – should we sleep, stay awake, eat, not eat – it was still a good idea to eat something that didn’t come in an airplane tray.

Above photos are of the fake food displays at the airport cafeteria. Jason was put off by the plastic food but what we got wasn’t bad at all.


Curry chicken cutlet (Jason: “Really good curry! My buddy, @greggtilston, would have enjoyed this I think, the chicken was more batter than meat unfortunately”).


Cheese steak burger with prawn tempura.

Well, it was certainly a step up from airport food, but not by much. I’m just glad that Jason has an open mind when it comes to food.

When you travel, do you have certain comfort foods that you look for? Or are you willing and adventurous enough to try the local fare?

Until next time nibblets, sprinkle hearts!

Welcome to Japan, or at Least the Airport

G’day mates! Howzit going?

On our way to Brisbane, Jason and I had a seven hour stopover at the Narita Airport, Tokyo, Japan. Though it was a tempting idea to venture out and see the city of Tokyo, we were more concerned with staying in the airport and not missing our final leg of the trip.

So what is there to do but explore?

Oh yes, this airport lounge is just brimming with excitement!

It was at this time that Jason and I decided to watch the movie, The Road. Oh wow, it was a powerful movie but certainly a bad choice considering that the current environment we were in was quite bleak and our energy exhausted. It was easy to get sucked into the movie and afterwards, everything just felt heavy and depressing.

I won’t let that get me down though, so I perked myself up with more window shopping.

What do you do to pass the time when you’re at a layover? What entertains you?

Until next time airport survivors, sprinkle hearts!

Airplane Food

G’day mate! Howzit going?

Oh man, I just ate the most amazing meal ever! I mean OK, maybe it’s not the most amazing meal but it certainly hit the spot after an already long, long day!

I couldn’t sleep I was so hungry! I probably couldn’t sleep because I’m also still very excited that I’m enroute to awesomeness!

I’m also enjoying this very lovely JAL Original Drink – Sky Time Yuzu (Japanese Citron). Refreshing with just enough sweetness! It’s also recommended that during a flight, you should keep hydrated with water and if possible, keep lotion and lip balm on hand. I’ve got this very lovely lotion but I haven’t got a lip balm, so I will drink more water!

I’m getting very antsy sitting here! I’m in the middle seat this time, but I am thankful that I got the window seat on the first leg. I can’t wait to get up and stretch my legs.

Sprinkle hearts!
