Nagoya, my first destination during my Japan cityhop. Ever since I came to Japan I have been anxious to see the Robot Ramen Restaurant in Nagoya. An actual robot makes you your Ramen noodles. Before leaving - I packed enough cloths and gear into two small bags to easily backpack through the country, also a lunchbox was needed for the long train ride. I just love browsing through all the unknown and weird foods at the train station, everything in Japan just looks so damn delicious. 

I gave myself 5 hours in Nagoya to find the Robot Ramen restaurant and explore the city. The restaurant was hard to find and it took me quite some time and help from some locals to locate it. I made some great friends in the process even though it was such a sort encounter. The inhabitants of Nagoya are fantastic and super friendly. Nagoya is definitely on my list for my next Japan adventure and hopefully be able to explore the Nagoya Nightlife.

The Robot Ramen restaurant was a serious experience, I have never had a machine make my lunch in front of my eyes. It was talking and cracking jokes, even during eating it - the robot did tricks and other random acts.
