Travel with Rainbow

Layover in Hong Kong for the 2nd time, and this time for a longer duration, I remember to get my Airport Express ticket at the airport counter this time. 😂 Time check: 7am!

So that gave me an extra 1/2 hour in Japan! Hooray!!! 😆 And the first experience of punctuality! The flight I took from Singapore to HND was Japan Airlines and I have to say I'm impressed! It is one of the healthier choice you can get for airplane food! In flight meal - look at the green tea!!! And the rice was super tasty too! Just before landing, the air stewardess gave us the arrival cards to fill in. There are 2 forms to be filled in.  Front Back Upon arrival, follow the arrival sign to clear customs.  The queue to clear immigration was super long so it took me a good 45 mins before I manage...
