Last week, our company gave us an overnight outing at the Camayan Beach Resort in Subic Bay. This was part of our yearly outing. Last year we went to Boracay Beach and that was really fun.

Anyway, going back to Camayan Beach Resort. The place was perfect for an overnight stay. The hotel facilities were very good and the people serving us are very accommodating and responsive to our needs.
But the one thing I really liked was the breakfast menu they served us. There were many selection of foods but I chose the simple one and very native: Scrambled egg, dried anchovies, salted red egg with chopped tomatoes and unions plus a bowl of cereals (reminds me of our breakfast in Australia).
This is my favorite breakfast
That's what I really like to eat for breakfast. Simple and yet filling.
Come to think of it, sometimes the simple things make our life better.
Many desire to have the chance to travel outside of our country. My first chance to travel was when I was chosen to go to Dayton, Ohio by my company, NCR Corporation in 1979. It was the chance of a lifetime. Unfortunately, my passport wasn't ready and I had a hard time getting one due to some technicalities on my birth certificate. Long story short, I missed the opportunity.
My second chance came when I was with Fujitsu Philippines in 1985. I was sent to Japan as a reward for being the best salesman that year. Tokyo was very modern and amazing. Their railway system was something to be envied even at that time, more so now.
Yes, travelling to Japan has since been an ordinary thing for me due to my responsibility with Fujitsu until I retired in 2000.
Today I still travel as part of my work with Uno Overseas Placement. One of the things that I enjoy every time I go to Japan is the use of public bath called "Onsen". Most hotels that I go to have built-in Onsen for their guests.
The first time I used the Onsen, I felt awkward because I have to go in naked like all the rest. Not a Filipino culture indeed. But I easily adjusted and now I enjoy like the Japanese do.
Another thing I like when I travel to Japan is their airport. This one is in Kansai Airport. What I do is I check in early so I have more time to go around and enjoy the amenities of the airport, including foods.

Just love waiting at the airport, so comfortable
If and when you have the chance to visit Japan, don't forget to try their Onsen and enjoy their airports and foods.
I love eating Japanese food. It's different and almost exotic. I am also privileged to travel to Japan, where our business takes us.
During my last trip to Kagawa-ken, Japan to monitor our interns at Uno Overseas Placement, I met a lovely couple, Otani-san and Nolits, who were also our partners. They happen to be food lovers too. But the distinction they have is that they are very keen on authentic, delicious but reasonably priced restaurants in their area of operation.

Ah, on this trip, they brought me to small ramen shop in the area of Takamatsu. I love the taste of ramen in Japan. But most specially the ambiance of the shop.
So let me take you there now.
See what I mean with ambiance? Love it.
Ahh, the lights! This shop is frequented by old and young alike.
The owner and the chef
My ramen. It's seafood-soup base. Just love the taste of it.
Then there are three. The one at the rear is very hot.
Here it goes. I just love this ramen. Osihi desu!
I love to travel and I love food, specially Japanese food.
