Killing time at Kansai Airport

Y'all know I love to eat. Staying over night at the airport was actually a good move! There's a huge range of food places open 24 hr and they accept credit card. Oh and there's free wifi.

No international holiday would be complete without a trip to the local McDonald's. 

This is a Japanese McDonald's meal during Sakura season.

Sakura burger has a pink bun and salty sweet flavour ( yay! ). Pink mayonnaise with pink pickles in it and a pork patty and fried egg. 

Salad with gomu (sesame soy) dressing FTW!
