      Peanut Butter...
  Can't get by without my peanut butter, jam and toast in the morning, even though it seems to be a luxury item in Japan. In my left hand is a 340 gram container costing more than $4.00. In my left is a 2 kg container that I bought in Canada. Price? The same! Not only is it expensive, it's also hard to find real 'Western' peanut butter. Japanese peanut butter tastes more like cake icing, delicious but if I ate that everyday I'd be dead by now. Anyway my 2 kg container should last me a few months at least.

Snow in Tokyo...      
  Not somthing you see too often over here. It hardly ever snows in Tokyo but when I woke up and opened the curtains I was greeted by gentle white flakes blanketing the roofs and telephone wires. It looked pretty for a day, then it started melting and made an ugly grey mess. Then of course the weather got cold and the slush froze for a while. Thankfully the whole episode was over in about a week. Tokyo never stays cold enough for snow to stick around for very long, for which I am thankful.

      Outback Chocolate Tower...
  Another cake story! Here I am in Outback Steakhouse with Kumi and I've just finished up a small, stringy prime rib. Anyway I had room for dessert and I've always wanted to try their 'Chocolate Tower'. The menu makes it look huge, and at about $10 it darn well better be, but this is Japan after all, so I figured I could probably eat it in a couple bites. Well it turned out to be even bigger than the menu picture. Pretty tasty too, but not a stitch on Loblaws cakes. We couldn't finish it, but they let us take it home in a doggie bag.
