A Man's Got To Eat
Venturing out into Jiyugaoka for the first time to buy groceries can be intimidating. Luckily, I had my roomie along and he was actually knows stuff.
Surveying the produce, I decided that 800 yen was too much for a peach and that in general their produce was outrageously overpriced. I ended up buying some carrots, noodles a coule rolls and a little jug of sauce.
Oh, I should mention that the "western style" toilet here in my apartment is pretty unique. It is plumbed into the sink so that to turn on the sink you must flush the toilet and vice versa. The two functions are inextrictably connected. The sink is what fills the toilet tank for the next flush. Pretty strange if you ask me.

Probably to remind you to wash your hands.
What is the ratio to yen and dollars?
Western style toilets are always a surprise in other countries. Somehow they caught the outward zeal but not the inward holiness of the thing.
I thought that it was a nifty idea. Efficiency and all that.
HA! that toilet thing is hilarious...
Now you are living on the college kid diet. Noodles and carrots :)
Wow... that's just a little weird...
