日本の生活と栄養

Just for anyone whos interested, and because nothing particularly interesting has happened today
thought id do a post about Japanese food, and general living-here stuff, in comparison to England (obviously i by know means know everything this is just my take, so you elitist jack-offs can kiss my ass)
Shopping here on the most part seems to take part at convenience stores (コンビニ) scattered about, the most notable ones i suppose would be Lawsons, 7/11 and that SunKuss (or however its spelt) and at large department stores that have everything, like the one here in Tanashi called Asta.
Also if you're feeling cheap, or a little short of cash, theres a lot of Y100 shops around, which we often visit for breakfast and general stocks.


Ive lost count of how many of these cartons ive drunk so far, but im pretty sure its 1 a day if not more, only Y105 for 1 litre, which is a very reasonable price indeed. Yum
These crisps are the best crisps ever, you dont get many in a pack, but then they do only cost about Y50. They actually have cheese dripped on them, and taste like pizza, they are heavenly.

For dinner me and the guys often go down to Asta at about half 8 ish because they slash the price of all the sushi and chicken and stuff. You can get a large amount of good japanese food, for under Y450. Bargain.

If you like manga, then look no further than the local Book Off, which are absolutely HUGE, and have large sections where you can get manga for Y105, which i have, i might add, taken advantage off, they also carry CDs, DVDs and games too.

Note* : If your wondering why everything is Y105, not 100, even in Y100 stores, its because of the Japanese consumer tax, TECHNICALLY the items are Y100, but your paying the extra 5 as tax... sucks, well at least its 5%, not 17.5% ey?

PS. Watch out for lamp posts. haha, humourous story, We were walking back from somewhere, i dont seem to remember where, last night, and Matt sees a girl in a ramen shop smiling at him, so he smiles back, and walks straight into a big red, fire hydrant sign pole. Cut his eyebrow good, how we laughed. I guess the moral of the story is, never smile hah.
