Hello Japan

After a long flight on Austrian Air, I could finally see the sun rising as we began to cross into the next day. It was quite striking.
A couple hours later, the sun was up, the sky was clear, and the clouds were below.

It's pretty neat sitting about the wing like that. After arriving in Japan, I remembered that I had promised Anna I would take pictures of funny signs. I found this one, which is pretty good. I don't know what it means, but I like it.

There was also this great no swimming sign, or at least I think that's what it says.
For lunch, I went to a place that has a vending machine for ordering. You put in money, get a ticket, and take the ticket to the counter. Unfortunately, it was all in Japanese. I was able to match the first and last symbol and ended up with something pretty tasty.
This is what I got (well, one of these).

  1. Try the English translation. The funny sign says "No Danger"; but the third sign from the left says: "No Photographing". The sign police must have been on a break. You luck out again!!

  2. It is an afternoon tea splendidly. How is an afternoon plate, a cake wagon in a time of afternoon, talkative time. A lunch stylish willingly. Many of the dish that meets for the first time with warm service.
