Food

I seem to fixate on food here, but it really is one of my favorite things to talk about, and it is something that everyone can realate to.

I had mosburger again for lunch, they messed up my order on one of the three cheeseburgers, but I was considering what they gave me accidentally anyway, so it was no big deal. I think I even got a discount because of it.

I do however, have to stop thinking of fast food burgers here as cheap food. The cheaper food in in Japan, I have found, is NOT CHAIN RESTRAUNTS! Its 250 yen for a small cheeseburger here, that you need 3 to fill up on, thats basically 7 bucks right there. If you want fries and a drink, be prepared to end up over ten dollars. I was looking at a KFC yesterday, and the prices are the same, but everything is so much smaller you need two orders, again comming out to over ten bucks.

If I wanted to get a nice bowl of ramen from an independant shop, thats only 450 yen.... or about 4.25.

However, there are few places as cheap as ramen shops around here. There is lots of good cheap food at yokohama statoin, but thats $2.50 to get there, and again to get back, so unless I can get a meal for two bucks, its really not worth it to go there just for dinner.

On a side note. You know what I miss, my computer moniters. I miss my 24 inch moniter a great deal, but I really miss having two or three moniters at a time. I Find that a laptop, or a small computer screen is fine when I am not connected to the internet, or I have a really slow connection. However, when I have ungodly amounts of bandwidth like I do here, I find that I am doing so many things on my computer that 1400 x 1050 pixels of screen real estate just results in my spending a lot of time alt-tabbing between programs.

Oh and Andrea, I havent seen you online lately, drop me an email about production.
