Our
Manila-Narita flight was delayed because of some technical stuff, but the
flight to Tokyo was good. We got in Narita just in time for our connecting
flight to JFK, but left me with no time to eat ramen at the airport cafeterias.
Although not as good as city stalls, still better - understandably so because
of access to better ingredients - than most of the Japanese ramen places in
Manila.

The Delta crew were surprisingly, nice. My well-travelled friend
Randy Manaloto had warned me that the US leg of a Delta flight can be bad
because of how American flight attendants treat passengers. Thankfully, this
didn't happen to me on this trip. What just bummed me on this trip was the
turbulence flying out of Narita and flying into JFK. Harrowing. With shrieks
from some passengers. And a delay in the meal service.
The bad part of the flight: the movie service. Movies were
projected on common screens with poor resolution (the one in front of me had a
green cast to it), and the sound coming from my earphones was really bad. After
travelling on Asiana and Cathay Pacific on my other U.S. trips - with amazing
in-flight electronics - this was really a bummer.
