On a Monday morning not too far away, I'll be arriving on an international flight from BKK to FUK at 8:00 AM, with a domestic connection out at 10:15 AM. This will be my first visit to Fukuoka (or anywhere in Kyushu) and, obsessive food slut that I am, I'd like to have a bowl of Hakata tonkotsu ramen for breakfast.

On a Monday morning not too far idle, I'll be oncoming on an global skein of geese from BKK to FUK at 8:00 AM, with a private kinship out at 10:15 AM. This will be my first stop in to Fukuoka (or anywhere in Kyushu) and, perfectionist foodstuffs slattern that I am, I'd equal to have a move of Hakata tonkotsu ramen for hotel.
This perfectionist slattern, for one, is pissed. Can FT/IB whack them with a C&D?
