Putting together the pieces
Today I rushed out of JB after lunch to go to the eye doctor. They changed the rules so that now EVERY time that you want to get a refill on contact lenses u have to go through an eye exam. If KANJI had capital letters, that would be MENDOUKUSSSSSAI in all caps, let me tell u. They have the same hours as the immigration office for some reason-- basically when NO ONE can go. So... finally, I got down to my last pair, and had to make the trip. Ofcourse, they were closed. So I waited and did some window shopping in the area. This is a small vegetable shop on the Shimotouri. I was surprised that the price of Mangos had gone down-- and then I realized that they weren't Mexican mangos. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Australian mangos are only about 15 US bucks a pop!!!!!!!! How cheap! Yeah right. But last year I saw Mexican mangos for about 30 US bucks. Japan is soooooooooooooooooo expensive. Can you imagine that my contact lenses AND the eye exam (with insurance ofcourse--- which I pay and arm and a leg and probably an other leg for) were the same price of a mango? No wonder they pack them so nicely. For that price they should come with ribbons and bows!
Jambalaya night at Yoko's was fun & yummy. We hardly have a chance to get ALL of us together, especially since I never work with Jo-Jo or Sandy. We stayed up until 3 in the morning "putting the pieces together". It is really nice of Yoko to do this. (^_^) Thank you! Gochisou sama deshita! ¶ viernes, enero 19, 2007
