Visiting America
Yesterday I had my first trip to the States!!! Well, practically. Valerie signed me onto the US Naval base, and I got to look around. It really is like a mini-America. They have a furniture store, electrical goods store, mini mart, grocery store, cinema, everything! I bought Valerie's text book for her cuz she gets paid in American dollars, and it was just easier for me to pay in yen, and so I got to go grocery shopping on Base with US$20!! Unreal! Bought things like Reece's peanut buttercups, Hershey's chocolate syrup and a pint of chocolate chip cookie dough icecream! YUM! Probably not a good use of $20, but very enjoyable! I'm starting to put on a tiny bit of weight, so I'm gonna have to stop eating so much chocolate and donuts, but you have to indulge every once in a while. *Smiles*

Ahh ha ha! So cool. YOu traveller you. And it's a great way to spend US$20. You'll just have to figure out what some Japanese healthy food stuff is so you can buy that. HOpe you get to have more trips to America.
Oh do you know that I really like those Reeses Peanut Butter cups? And taht you can't get them here (Well I've looked and cant find them) Just thought you should know.

Banana, do they have candy corn there? Yum. Yum.
Tab, I have seen Reese's cups in Aust a couple of times - I think once in Kmart. I'll keep an eye out for you.
Isn't that just like Japan to have a Minimerica? Do they have a little bit of Australia, too?
;-]
I feel so sorry for the kid!! I remember my old Spanish teacher trying to have conversations with me that just made no sense, and I felt like such a nong! My Spanish IQ must be about the same as my age...
