Feed San

"Needing feeding" or "Feed San" are phrases that those who know me will often hear me say.
I love food- my rather over generously sized hips and arse are testament to this fact. So how am I doing in a land with a very different cuisine? Not too badly- it helps that I will pretty much try anything at least once.

Give praise for the ever present vending machine- I am working my way through the various options offered with a kind of random attitude- this morning I had Apple tea. I'd been whining that the machines on the streets didn't do snacks, but today I found one with jars of mini Kit Kats in them- a first as 99.9% of the street vending machines only do beverages or cigarettes, as eating in the street is kind of a no- no.

I'll admit I was tempted by the banana cream sandwich, but coffee flavoured sandwiches? Ick.

Random prepackaged sandwiches- we have peanut butter, egg, some fish paste looking thing(!) and they also have margarine sandwiches- mmm- tasty! ;)

Our cheap supermarket lunch. Is it bad that I can't tell you what we ate? I have no idea! Told you I'll try pretty much anything. But it all tasted fab. You can also get chicken skin on its own in a box, amongst other tasty treats (haven't tried it).

Today's Japanese phrase of the day chosen at random from my phrasebook:
Sumimasen, ichiban chikaku no ko-shu-denwa wa doko des ka?*
Excuse me, where's the nearest public phone?

(*Read as written, holding the letters with the hyphen after them a little longer than normal- as I am writing on a UK laptop I can't write the Japanese symbols.)
