A little trouble in Tokyo

Flying to Tokyo After killing a few hours at e Jakarta airport, the check in counters for my flight to Tokyo opens. I quickly check in and make my way to the Plaza Premium Lounge in the terminal 3. It's actually pretty nice and spacious, so if you ever find yourself in this airport its worth a visit! After a quick shower and a few snacks I make my way to the gate where I board my flight to Japan....

Old Town with Jakarta Good Guide After a much needed night of rest, I wake up feeling better and ready to explore Jakarta. Before coming here, I had found a free walking tour of Jakarta's old town with Jakarta Good Guide.

While not wanting to ruin my appetite for the flight I end up snacking on fries before doing a few laps of the terminal to stretch my legs. Typically, I would spend some time in a lounge prior...

Mad Yolks This morning, I get up bright and early in order to give myself plenty of time to walk from my hotel to the Jameson Distillery. In fact, I gave myself so much time that I arrived early and the distillery hadn't opened yet. Good thing I did a little research beforehand and found a breakfast spot nearby. Mad Yolks is a cool breakfast sandwich shop and I picked up a great egg sandwich...
