Big Adventures, Little World

Today was Belinda’s last day of school so I was spending the day at home by myself. Deciding some food was in order I headed out to the local supermarket to get something to eat, and possibly visit a few other shops in the area. After the 5 minute walk though it was just too damn hot to be out and about so headed straight to the supermarket.

Now, a Japanese supermarket is much like any other supermarket, apart from the fact I couldn’t read any of the labels so didn’t really know what anything was. This didn’t really aid me at all in choosing what to eat. So I wandered up and down the aisles for a bit, to see if there was anything that took my fancy. While there was many delicious looking products, I still didn’t know if they needed cooking or heating, or what needed to be done to them, if anything. I found some pre-packaged meals and sandwiches, from which I chose something with a bit of meat, salad, egg, noodles and some kind of seafood, which turned out to be decent enough.

All in all it was much the same as any supermarket shopping experience, but not knowing what things were or how they were to be served made it much too difficult to decide. Luckily Belinda didn’t give me a shopping list!
