What a blessing to have this opportunity to travel all the way to Vietnam and share this experience with my very good friends and their families, Vietnam is a beautiful country that offers beautiful scenery, friendly people, a rich cultural heritage and on my opinion the most divine cuisines worldwide.
My 10 hour wait in Narita, Japan
I had a 10 hour layover in Japan, I had done some research on places to go nearby and had the opportunity to leave the airport and visit Narita Town and its temple
walking the streets of Narita
Stretching over the entire one kilometer distance from the railway stations to the temple, Naritasan's Omotesando is a lively street lined by numerous restaurants and stores, that have been selling traditional crafts, foods and souvenirs to pilgrims and tourists for centuries.
some of these shops and homes are centuries years old
