Costco

So they have Costco in Japan. Its the real deal, same orange shelves; you have to have a membership card and everything. And yes, thats one of my punk friends with green hair. Really has a nice contrast with the orange of the store.

The only noticeable difference is when you get home. Costco is an American size company that sells American size merchandise (often referred to with its technical term "BULK"). When I got home, I had to adjust my Japanese size fridge (often referred to in other countries as a "mini-fridge") because none of my Costco girth would fit.

I have to make extra sure that the lids are on tight so I dont get dill-pickle-pace-picante-cranrasberry-jucie soup in the bottom of my fridge.

This amount of food, along with a gallon of Skippy peanut butter and four jars of Nutella, will keep my apartment tasting like home for at least another week.
