first meal..

20/10/07
it’s getting colder and colder everyday… when it’s cold people tends to sleep a lot… or maybe that just apply to the two pigs here. =p

today we just have our meals at home, simple and nice. but a bit failed… we finished cooking, excited to eat, only to find out that the rice is not cooked! we can’t read the Japanese words, we actually set the rice to be cooked only after 6 hours~ after dealing with the cute little rice cooker for about half an hour, we decided to cook the rice on stove for this time. I look at the food getting cold, feel like a puppy waiting for owner to feed. huhuhu… We used heater to keep the food warm, but actually it didn't help much. It was indeed a nice meal as the food itself is already nice, unlike M’sian food, too much of the preservations.










After asking the others only then we know that the rice cooker here takes like 40 minutes or more to cook. It put a big question mark in my mind as I thought Japanese are very efficient and want everything to be fast?

do you think the 4 season fruits like grapes, apples etc are cheap here? no! a little bit of the grapes cost you 798 yen or ~RM24! in the end we bought some banana at about RM6. that’s funny. but it's not cheap as well.. one banana also costs you like ~RM1.

today we decided to put heater outside of our bathroom so that it can welcome us with ‘warm air’ after we take bath, otherwise its freezing cold after coming out from the bathroom. we bought some stuff from the 100 yen shop, one of them is the cloth to cover the toilet pad, so that it’s not so cold when you want to do business in toilet. :) it’s very cute!

wanna add on to the hygienic of the Japanese. In YouMeTown, the public toilet have this piece of paper that you can place on the toilet bowl when you use it. then flush away just like that after you use. it’s again sth new to me!
