Ichiran Ramen<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> One Sunday night, approximately 11 in the evening, I was walking in the backstreets of Shinjuku when I saw a line of people going to this ramen place called Ichiran Ramen. The place had a red green circle as a sign but was very conspicuous because it's underground. You wouldn't notice the place not for the long line outside it. It is at this moment that curiosity got the best of me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;">The sign of the ramen shop. To go there, ride the JR line going to Shinjuku </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;">and exit the Central East Exit then go straight. If</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"> there's a long line, you know you are in the right place</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Living in Tokyo for about 4 months now, eating ramen now isn't a novelty for me anymore. All my time here<b>, I never saw a ramen with this long a line and to top it off, to see a line at the dead hour of the night. </b>While people should be mostly sleeping in their homes, these people were out in the streets waiting in line for this ramen?! I wondered, could this be the <i>best ramen in Japan?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> My curiosity got the best of me and tried to wait in line myself to see what the fuss was about. Once I was near the entrance, a menu was given to me which explains the process. Yes, there is a process on getting your ramen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First, you have to decide what ramen you want. They have only one type of ramen but you have the option of adding more noodles, more egg, more meat etc. Once your in, you are greeted with a vendo machine were you have to press in your desired ramen. The prices would be a little less than a thousand yen. (which is not bad since you might be eating the best ramen in Tokyo) and would add up depending on the additonal ingredients you desire. Next, you again wait in line and a piece of paper will handed to you. Don't worry, there's a paper in English and Chinese so you wouldn't get confused. You put your desired specifications of the ramen you want, This would include, the thickness of the sauce, the firmness of the noodles, if you want meat with your ramen, extra onions etc. If you can't decide then you can check the chef's recommendation. While waiting in line a server will ask how many people? You just raise your fingers on how many you are. Then, the waiter will cue you on entering the booth where you will be seated. The booths definitely adds to the wow factor of the place since this is rarely found in ramen across Japan. Once your seated, a tiny wooden curtain will raise in front of you and you give your ticket stub (you got from the vending machine) to the server. The curtain will close and you wait for your ramen. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After 5 mins, the curtain will raise and your ramen is served!</span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Before you go in, they will show you a guide on how to order</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhba3oUk-doJ6kxhI3II1AGNRbNVNFuaT-rLXQ6lDddRv86Fe3B0W9pKl2x7cioj7VvR47OX3vUz4PgmQGV6-vsxkFuKwP0MSdq5phhZvtjAYi6-eGexce8k_mhR07NJ1oOoN4HDt0iDNQ/s1600/12016660_957456710993249_927058637_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhba3oUk-doJ6kxhI3II1AGNRbNVNFuaT-rLXQ6lDddRv86Fe3B0W9pKl2x7cioj7VvR47OX3vUz4PgmQGV6-vsxkFuKwP0MSdq5phhZvtjAYi6-eGexce8k_mhR07NJ1oOoN4HDt0iDNQ/s400/12016660_957456710993249_927058637_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Verdict</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The ramen is a <i>tonkotsu</i> based, with two small pieces of pork meat, no bamboo shoots, some green onions, egg and noodles. That's it. I tasted the ingredients individually and it is nothing above the ordinary. The soup was great though, it is not the thick creamy type of <i>tonkotsu</i> broth that you get to have in other ramen shops. The soup is thick enough not to make you have that overbearing feeling after you eat ramen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, it was great! It definitely hits the spot. But don't expect some ramen that will totally blow your mind. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In conclusion</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I think that the ambiance has a lot to do why the the place is always packed. The individualized booths makes you feel that your in confession and the atomenent was eating the bowl of ramen in front of you. The booths also make you focused on your ramen and not with the people around you which I must say makes it tastier and the experience better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Overall, I did like the place. It's an experience that I can tell to people. Will I be coming back? It's not something you can come back every week, maybe once a month. The ramen is a little special compared to other ramen but it's not life changing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're in Japan, and you have only one chance to eat ramen, then you should try this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

It's more than the Giant Gundam Robot! <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Features: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Palette Town, an amusement center consisting of VenusFort shopping mall (part of which has outlet shops), Mega Web (has the Toyota Museum and showcase center, and Tokyo Leisure land an indoor amusement center with a kick ass Ferris Wheel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. A beach with a mini Statue of Liberty</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. 3 Malls: Aqua City, Diver City and DECKS Tokyo beach ( Has a Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and Legoland Discovery Center)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Fuji TV Headquarters</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. Ooedo Onsen Monogatari: a Traditional Japanese bathhouse</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6. The 2 storey Gundam Robot!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Damage:</b> Free (unless you try out the museums, bath house and the Ferris Wheel)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>How to got there:</b> Go to Shimbashi Station and take the Yurikamome Line ~ 460 Yen, or you can walk the Rainbow Bridge from Tamachi Station around 1 1/2 hrs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you're a foreigner like me, you probably want to go to Odaiba because of the huge Gundam Robot. I mean, who doesn't want to take a selfie with a huge robot right?! But I tell you, there is so much more to Odaiba than the robot!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Recommended: </b>If you have a lot of time in Tokyo. If you want to sunbathe in a beach, looking for alternatives to the Tokyo Shopping Scene, try out a traditional bath house, check out the Gundam Robot, then try Odaiba! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">’s a step by step process on how to travel from Haneda Airport to Tokyo Central. But first of all, why choose Haneda Airport vs Narita airport. Well, you have no choice. Some airlines go to Haneda and some go to Narita. Haneda is much better because first, it’s much nearer to Tokyo ( 30 mins vs 1 - 1 1/2 hrs ETA depends on train use) and second, because of the distance, Narita train fares going to Tokyo is much more expensive ( Narita express ~ 3000 yen, Rapid train 1300 yen vs ~600 yen via monorail)</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

Once you have done this go straight and you will find a sign saying monorail and a ticket station. There are two maps on top of the ticketing machine. One in English and the other in Japanese. Note the place of where you are going and remember the corresponding number with that station for this will be the amount that you will b paying in the ticketing machine. For example, my stop is in Tamachi station and the number corresponding to it is 630. That’s 630 yen that I will have to pay.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Features:</b> A plane ride that will showcase the Himalayan Mountain Range and the highest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. It also showcases 8 of the highest peaks in the world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Damage:</b> estimated 207 USD</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Duration:</b> 3 hrs ( 1 hr waiting time in the airport and 2 hrs for the flight itself). Usually done at the morning were visibility is the most optimum from 7:00 to 8:05 am</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How to do it:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1. The hard way: </b>Book online, there are 4 airlines (Agni Air, Buddha Air, Simrik Airlines, Yeti Airlines) that offer the Everest Express, but we chose Yeti Airlines since it has a better track record of safety. The prices of ticket doesn't vary much between the airline service.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. The easy way:</b> Book a hotel/hostel and Kathmandu and let them do the booking for you. Actually, it's hard getting around Kathmandu, since there is no mass transport. So the best way is to hire a local guide to get you around and everything is done through the hotel service. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Meiji Jingu is part of a huge complex including the Meiji Shrine, the Bunkakan Treasure Museum and Yoyogi Park. Basically, if you</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">’re a traveller and you have time to kill (I mean, a LOT of time) this would be the place for you. To tell you the truth, the Meiji Shrine looks like any other shrine in Japan. It’s not even that elaborate. But what’s unique about it is that you sometimes see Japanese people getting married (they are also willing to have pics with you) The Treasure Museum houses important relics from Emperor Meiji. It has a cool horse carriage inside but that’s about as good as it gets. What impresses me about this place is the beauty of Yoyogi Park. The land is so big with numerous ponds and lush greenery. The trees here are quite unique and from the stories, it was donated by locals and foreigners in order to make this park. What strikes me the most about the forest is that a lot of locals come here to unwind. Put a mat and sleep beneath the trees. You see children playin in the open field, the occasional cooing of the crows and fresh smell of pine. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Recommended: Like I said,if you have a lot of time in your hands, go see this park but I’m not putting it on the top of my list as must see places. Ir’s one of those temple you scratch off your bucket list. If you want a solid place for a picnic and just to relax with mother nature, this is the place to be. Just find your cozy little nook and just hangout. Bring some wine, sushi and your favorite book and your set! </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"America is not the Greatest Country in the World, but it used to be..." We know America is the country we love to hate. Or do we really? We have embraced it's culture, food and history for a very long time that we fail to see that it's crumbling in it's own weight. I was blown away from this scene form the show the Newsroom. It was just a slap in the face that you don't see coming. Please watch it...</span></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was delivered the the American Actor Jeff Daniels, who surprisingly played Harry in the Dumb and Dumber movie series. Watching this scene over and over again, I still believe America is still the greatest country in the world. You throw away the stat sheets you still know which country has the greatest influence on you.</span> <br />

In case you don’t know us, we are the people in your workplace who dresses like you and likes the places you go. Only difference is that we are a few years older, have a larger tummy and we leave the party at 11pm (coz we easily get tired and have kids to tend to).

Sorry, excuse me and you guess it... Thank You! Remember, the Japanese is a culture that is rooted on respect. They probably say a lot of Sorry (or sumimasen) more than they scratch their balls (or dream of bags for women) than let’s say.....Canadians? The Japanese are so polite, they would bow their head straight down for even purchasing a happy meal in Mcdonald’s. Heck, when I was in an airplane ready to depart I saw a bunch of crew members line up beside the plane and bowed. No one could have seen them (except for my wandering eye) but they did it anyway! If u still don’t get my point try watch The Last Samurai starring Tom Cruise. Even if they are about tho give up their life they are still polite!</span></span></div>
