        Blargh I know, I promised pictures. I swear they are coming when I am not bogged down by schoolwork.


        I went to Osaka today, intent on buying some more manga. My friend needed to pick up her laptop anyway (it seems her mac decided to just not start up anymore, and needed to be doctor

        ¿©¤ÙÊüÂê (tabehoudai) means "all you can eat." As you might expect, tabehoudai is very popular. Japanese people seem to be able to eat a LOT more than I can -- most of the time, I'm full after just one dish, and Japan usually gives you four or five in one set meal (soup, rice, salad,
