I am surprised JAL lends its name to this lounge. It is dirty, crowded, and there is nothing ‘Japanese’ about it at all – except for a bottle of Umeshu – Japanese Plum wine.

Nonetheless I try the meatballs, German potato salad, and Sauerkraut, with a German beer.

The wifi is strong, so take advantage of it to check FB and other portals before my 11 hour flight to Singapore via Colombo.
