Samsonite's handle was broken

Perhaps it is rare case that Samsonite's handle was broken. I realized that the handle was broken was at CDG airport when I picked up the suitcase. I should claim this to Lufthansa but I was in a hurry so I postponed and forgot to claim. This level of damage could be compensated by airline company.

Shichimi and Tamago-toji Soba 玉子とじ蕎麦と七味

Ichimi and Tamago-toji Soba at Utachiyo-Sarashina, Waseda Tokyo. "Sarashina"
represents soba noodle and Utachiyo means forever song, while this soba noodle shop will be closed by the end of this year with 73 years history in Waseda.

This is one of typical Japanese noodle in winter and I love it very much this menu. They serve very tasty soba with hot soup covered by egg, and ichimi is red pepper gridded and for topping on soba.

Arriving in Sao Paulo and Flight Information Board

It is just before the landing at Guarulhos International Airport, Sao Paulo, and trap was used for transfer passengers. There is flight information boards at the departure terminal but one issue is that the board shows only flight information of the location of the board, not entire flight information of the airport. For example, you arrive at terminal 1 and your connecting flight departs from terminal2. In this case, you can not see the departure flight information at terminal 1. You will see your connecting flight information in the board at terminal 2.
