I had my first bowl of cereal in months today and it was delicious. Now if that sounds strange, you have to take where I live into consideration. My grocery store literally has two kinds of cereal. Sugar flakes or chocolate flakes, that's it. Normally cereal comes in ultra small, two serving boxes that run around four to six dollars a pop. So I was pleasantly surprised to find these medium sized boxes marked at about $2.75 today. I had gotten so used to Kanto pricing that I over looked just how much more affordable things are here in Osaka.
I think I mentioned it before, but the vending machines are a perfect examples. The pet bottles that would cost 150 yen(~$1.50 US) are 100 yen all over the place. It's a small difference when you think about the amount but it's 33% off and that adds up pretty quick if you grab a drink everyday on the way to school like I do. The food thing is getting more practical now that I'm getting used to cooking things that don't involve spaghetti or pasta. (Yes, I know they're practically the same thing.)
I literally accomplished nothing this weekend and was ditched on two different get togethers. Pretty lame all and all, but I have relaxed quite a bit. I started watching how to shogi videos so that I can pick it up sooner or later. Mostly it's difficult to recognize the pieces because I haven't learned the kanji for most of them yet. Oh, and I met my hero. This is what I want to do when I get really burned out from work and school.
