An account of Michael's thoughts in Japan.

And they all seem to be somewhat concerned that I am not eating enough food. So, I thought it would be kind of me to revisit the topic. Firstly, after becoming hungry, I have started to eat more than before. Still, I don't really exercise here in Japan, so I don't think I should eat as much as I did before. Also, if i were to eat the same food and at the same quantity as I general did in Encinitas, even buying food only at grocery stores, I think I could end up spending nearly $100 a day. I will investigate this claim further, since there is no evidence whatsoever to support this claim, but don't think it is really that far fetched, considering a peach costs $10.

Anyways, I bought things like bread, peanut butter, bananas (as i said before), and also carrots which I have been eating in my room. I also frequently by inari at the markets which is a tasty tofu and rice thing. And, I drink at least a liter of juice everyday, so at least that hasn't changed. :).

I guess the thesis of this post is something like, when I get hungry I eat, when I'm full I eat less, and for cost and cultural reasons my diet consists of different types of food than it did before; please don't worry.

Time for more school fun!
