Parts of the terminal buildings at Tokyo Narita (NRT) might be open all day long, but don’t expect a Dubai or Bangkok 24-hour atmosphere of passenger hubbub and last-minute shopping.

Airline Meals, Part 2
In my first piece on airline meals, I explored a few in-flight examples that I tried between 2016 and 2019, just prior to the pandemic.

The Wazir Khan Mosque of Lahore (Pakistan)
There’s an amusing anecdote regarding how I learned of the Wazir Khan Mosque. I was sitting in front of the Lahore Fort, one of the primary tourist spots of Lahore, Pakistan. To my surprise, an older man came to sit next to me, trying to preach about Jesus. After telling him where I was from, […]
