This morning I had to wake up real early. REAL EARLY. Like 5am early. OMG. So I took the taxi to the Central Airport Express Station and checked in my bags. I then took the Airport Express Train to the airport afterwards. 
I had these 3 jars of black bean sauce that my mother brought over from Taiwan that I had in my hand carry bag because I didn’t want them to break in my suitcase. However customs won’t let me bring it on the plane and won’t let me check them in at that point either, so they had to throw it away. What a waste… I was so unhappy about that.
Then I flew back on Northwest Airlines which wasn’t bad at all. No personal TV like Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific, but at least the flight was only a little over 3 hours. Then my friend picked me up and we spent another 2 hours on the train. It’s funny how the train ride from the airport itself is half the time of the plane ride already.
After we dropped off my luggage, we went to the Kawasaki station mall to have dinner. There were over 30 restaurants there and we couldn’t decided what we wanted to eat. Finally we came across this California Pizza Kitchen which is the same thing as the US, but we thought that we could try it since we haven’t had American food for a while.
The menu looked exactly the same and since we didn’t seem like we knew a lot of Japanese, we were handed the English menu. The color, size, weight and items were almost exactly the same as the US.
I basically ordered the same thing I would have ordered in the US.
Singaporean Shrimp Rolls
Milan Crispy Pizza
Fettuccini with Garlic Cream Sauce and Shrimp and Mushrooms.
