We've been dying to blog about some of our crazy stories (we promise the one about the karaoke bar is amazing) but today is not the day.
We returned to our favorite grocery store, Tokyu (toek-u), to stock up on groceries. And when we say stock up we mean fill up one of those "single person" baskets. We have yet to find an American sized shopping cart... they just don't exist. Winco seems to be a figment of our imagination. Oh well. We bought some chopsticks, snacks (we have no idea what the snacks are, but they taste good), ingredients for stir fry, and instant ramen (basically Top Ramen). MMMmmmm, yummmie. Only today we did notice that wheat bread does exist in Japan. However, the bag had three slices in it. Not a good selling point for us.
In a short while we will head downtown for a little exploration. We want to check out whats called the Nijo Fish Market and the Sapporo Factory Mall. Kellyn is very excited about the fish market! Think the fish section of Pike Place Market.
This is our last day before Joe has a few days of training and then officially starts work. No more vacation.
Also, we contacted a women regarding a job that might be a good fit for Kellyn. We'll see.
