Airport Limited Express / Narita Sky Access Express

The Japanese really seem to pay attention to details.  Recently, I was took the Airport Limited Express and Narita Sky Access Express to Narita airport.  This train runs on the same tracks as the Narita Sky Access. 

Since I was going to the airport to meet someone arriving to join my office, I had plenty of time and took a comfortable train without reserved seating for about ¥1300.  In about 80-minutes from Daimon I arrived at Narita.

Anyway, I noticed that the upholstery on the train was covered with a beautiful sky and 747 airliner design.

"God Make Me Cool" or "Engrish is Fun"

Sometimes, English phrases are appropriated (or misappropriated) for their coolness.  Perhaps this is something that is thought of as cool or "kakoii" for those who are Japanese. However, for native English speakers these signs provide endless hours of chuckles and what were they thinking moments. 

Although, the phrase on this sign is not incorrect, it would not normally used as part of an advertisement in most places (especially in the US where they have a heightened sense of political correctness and sensitivity to all things religious).  This shot was of shop window for "Love Run" located near Hiroo station. 

More Kabocha Pan

We had a picnic at the park Saturday and my wife brought some delicious Kabocha Pan.  It was decorated with a jack-o-lantern design and had a sweet pumpkin filling.

Isn't it scary?

Delicious Kabocha Milk Pan

Mont Thabor is my favorite bakery in Japan.  It's hard for me to resit stopping in for a treat when I'm walking through Azabu Juban.

They just have the right mix of Japanese and European style bread and pastries.  I'm especially fond of their Hokkaido Milk Pan and any of their pastries with Kabocha (Japanese Squash / Pumpkin).  This year they introduced Kabocha Milk Pan.

Yummy delicious!!!  Hopefully, this will be a permanent addition to their menu, but I'm afraid to ask.  This treat may be seasonal and could disappear with autumn... Boo hoo!
