Arigato, Narita!

With an 8-hour layover at hand between Singapore and New York today, I had enough time to enter actual Japan and do some sight-seeing.  

The extremely friendly tourist counter ladies told me how to get to Narita City, the town next to Tokyo's main airport.  My one goal in this trip was to eat real ramen in real Japan, and I succeeded.  

Feast your eyes on the soy-sauce base ramen and gyoza:


I also saw a Buddhist temple, wandered around a park, an successfully navigated Japanese-only train ticket machines, but food is obviously the most exciting and important. 

It's 4:45 pm right now in Tokyo.  I'm about to board my flight to Newark, leaving at 5:30, which gets me in at 4:45 EST.  Time travel, anyone?
