Almost half way there…looking gigantic today. I think it is the dress. I’m secretly hoping it is the dress…I might be HUUUUUUGE by the time 40 weeks rolls around.

Whale
While traveling on the expressway we stopped at one of the many gas station/rest stop/convenient store locations. At this particular stop I came across this really dark meat with (as you can see) fish characters near by. I’ve never seen black meat before so of course I was curious. To my surprise…it was whale. Whale steaks, whale tuna, whale in general. It’s apparently that dark because they smoke it and salt it for consumption. Cultural differences are interesting. I thought it was crazy they sold whale like that and he thought it was odd that we don’t in the United States. He remembered eating it in the cafeteria during elementary school. Has anyone eaten whale before? What’s it like?

Highway Robbery
There’s this cute little store I’ve seen around Japan called, what I assume is, Franc…but since they always have it Francfrancfranc, I call it that. They have random things, mainly house stuff. When I was there this last time I came across some mighty expensive, shouldn’t be expensive, stuffy.
Exhibit A. Body Fantasies. Isn’t that the Wal-Mart brand???? They are selling normal sized bottles for 1,575 yen which would be $20.41. Crazy. Robbery.
Exhibit B. Normal sized Febreze. They are selling it for 1,000yen or $12.96. Robbery.
Exhibit C. A small package of 40 Downy fabric softener sheets. They are selling it for 900 yen or $11.66. Robbery.
