Poking around Narita, Japan

In planning my trip I elected to take a brief layover in Narita rather than getting onto another  congested plane after 12 hours of woozing through serial movies.   Recalling a sweet stay at the Hotel Nikkei Narita enroute to Bali some ten years ago, I decided to do it again.  The breakfast buffet was beyond amazing; I managed to sample at least 10 different kinds of Japanese pickles and seaweeds.  In addition to foods the buffet included a full array of vitamins and supplements.   Skeptically I passed,  doubting the efficacy of taking a single body-enhancing pill.  The hotel coffee bar provided loads of free access ipads.  While the key pads featured Roman lettering, each of my bar strokes confounded me by producing Japanese gibberish.  Meanwhile outside it was 27 degrees (truly freezing) so I holed up in my cute little room for the night, appreciating being horizontal.  The next morning I took quick look around Narita and then headed back to the airport for my flight to Kuala Lumpur.
