So, what am I eating when I'm not eating honey and cheese pizza?
Believe it or not, I cook. It was very hard since we don't have have oven, so everything is a stir fry of some sort. Lots of vegetables (60% Yam, 30% other veg, 10% meat. And of course rice). It lasts for about three meals, so that dinner, my lunch the next day, and that dinner. It's not too bad. Plus, I can bu a huge thing of gyoza for under 200¥.
Another meal I have is a beef and what I think are tiny string beans. With, of course, rice. I tried these little rice balls too. I won't buy them again. Not as good as just rice, which I actually really starting to like.
This is also what my fridge looks like.

Fruit milk. Didn't taste like milk. Just thick juice, but then again, it's fruit milk. I like my peach juice better myself.
Shibuya 109:
So, today I went to Shibuya. I had a goal in mind. I was hunting for a poncho. The japanese make them look amazingly awesome. So I was on the hunt. I even asked around when I saw one I liked. I always got a store called "Liz Lisa" or the large shopping building "Shibuya 109." I went to that store which is two towers, eight floors each. I went to the top and worked my way down. The floor weren't too big, so I was able to go pretty fast. Some of those sales people are pushy though, which I hate. If I want to buy something, I'll do it. =_= Some were really nice, but sometimes I wanted to just say, "BACK OFF." I wish I could of taken some pictures because it seems the rule is, whatever shop you work at, that's the style you dress in. So if you have crazy skank clothes, you're wearing them. However, the place was plastered with "No picture" so you have to use your imagination.
Anyway, I did find the poncho/coat I want for, get this, under 25 dollars (it was 1995¥). I asked how much it cost, because there was another price underneath it that was A LOT more expensive. She was like, "...it's 1995, like it says." But I just wanted to make sure. I was happy, because I always heard of them being a lot more. The poncho:
I personally love it. And you can take the fur off, which is an added bonus. It was the very last one they had. I bought two more things while I was there:
 |
| I think this sweater is the beans. It was in black and white and gray and black, but I tried to be "different." |
 |
| No, this sweatshirt makes no sense, but it's extremely comfortable. Just trust me. |
I am pretty much done shopping. The only thing left on my list are gifts for you guys (family and such). If you have a certain request, let it be known, or you'll just get a surprise. :)
I'll make sure they're good ones though!
Well, I am not a group shopper. I originally went out with three other girls to Shibuya 109. These girls were walking so freakin' slow I wanted to pull my hair out. Just walking to the train station was murder, and I was slowing myself down BIG TIME when it came to walking. One girl kept saying "why are we running?" I was like, "...This is walking...WALK!" I pestered them to move faster on and off until we got to Shibuya station when one girl said, "oh, well, we're just chillin', and she's (another girl) wearing heels." Who told this girl to wear heels when we are going to be doing NOTHING BUT WALKING!? I was like, "pfft, peace." Shibuya 109 is a huge store and right outside of the station, I didn't need them to find it. They were just too slow, I couldn't stand it! I was able to go F21 to return a shirt, go through the bigger, eight floor tower, and then to the second tower before meeting them again on the first floor, and I was done by eight. Arrived at around 6:30, left by eight.
The women of Japan wear heels A LOT and they move faster than me. This girl needs to practice because I wear sneakers and I'm not waiting for her! They were hungry, I wasn't, and they were tired, and I wasn't. I had one class today, I was ready to move around, walk, climb, something! I know I should of stayed with my group for safety, but I just couldn't stand how slow they were moving and the dilly dallying! People who have gone to the market with me know that I usually hate to just wander through the isles. If I know where I want to go, I'm going, going fast, and then leaving. And now that I don't have to depend on anyone to get to and from Shibuya, pfft, it's a done deal.
Word to the wise: Don't wear heels if all you're going to do is walk. It's a dumb, dumb idea.
Thank you for taking us on your journey. I am glad you are eating good and shopping. The heels thing is stupid but I remember when being cute was all that mattered, now I know better.
