Everything is Soooooo Expensive in Japan!!

The weather is -50 here...
and the people hate furrinners, the clothing is
weird, and the food reallllllly expensive!
So don't come... You won't like it...
Leave it all for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Stay in Windsor... Sleep! sleep!

Ok.. went grocery shopping today:

6 pack of beer - Y489
(yup good beer, not USA style at all!)
500ml yoghurt Y109
500G ground coffee Y399
Bag of 10 tangerines (really fresh!) Y299
assorted bento box lunches,
curry & pork cutlet, sushi, etc
Y299 each, reduced %10 + %20

These are a meal.. they are not your pasta
"lean cuisine" or Tv dinner! They are
fresh mode and healthy..

1L grapefruit juice Y109
1L veggie juice blend Y159

Everything is fresh in Japanese supermarkets!
They make certain home grocery stores look like
dumpsters.. Enjoy your frozen deep fried in
hydrogenated oil mystery meat lumplings:
5lb bag at whatco.. mmmmmmmmm!

So.. expensive as heck, right
1.00 CAD = 88.2099 JPY
at today's rate

I liked it better last year when it was 100Y = 1 ca$,
but it is still very easy to deal with.

Loaded the box of groceries onto the
big rack on the back of my bike,
weaved home.. Tomorrow I must fix
the bike light generator thingy.. It
gats dark early.

Earlier this afternoon had Beef and rice hot bowl,
with soup and pickled greens, at a chain restauraunt-
Y280 for the bowl + Y70 for the extras..
Oh Darn.. no burger king original
chicken drywall+ salt for me today!

Food here is Good!
