Unrelated: Food and Non-Food Topic

Carving a Beijing Duck


Everytime I go connect through the Tokyo/Narita airport, I go to this small place the serves Japanese noodles ("udon"). After being confined in an airplane for many hours, a hot bowl of udon is very refreshing. Here's what I ordered today - udon with thin slices of beef. If you're wondering if the beef was trimmed of the fat, this is Asia so the fat is there. You should taste the broth. Highly recommended. If you are a vegetarian, be a carnivore for a couple of minutes and try it.


Nothing to do with food. These are some of the Japanese ground staff at NRT. It's about 2:30 pm on a Saturday and they are on the airport tarmac exercising. Of course, they do this in-between arrival and departure of airplanes. That would be so annoying to wait for a long time for your luggage only to find out that the baggage handlers are doing jumping jacks.

now i know where "udong" here in Davao came from. so it means "noodles". the flat ones here. har har har did you know that Davao was called the little tokyo during the 2nd world war? There were many Japanese who migrated here to work for the Japanese Imperial Army.
