My friends had a strange plan: they took me to the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. Do you know 'ramen'? It's a soup with noodles, bean sprouts and pork, a typical Japanese dish.

It's also the only place I saw in Japan where people had big dogs playing on the street :)

I went back to Yokohama last November and had a blast! This time was also for business, but it was fun because I knew what to expect, and it was great to see everyone at Panasonic in Yokohama again!

Day-trip from Tokyo to Yokohama
I visited Yokohama as a day trip from Tokyo with some Japanese friends. The only thing I knew from this city is that the highest building of Japan is here.
