After sending my 30 kg of stuff off I had McDonalds breakfast which was a wonderful treat then while waiting for the grocery store to open I was there early enough to claim some special discount at an electronics store like Best Buy. I chose the 2gb flash memory for 2400 yen. I could have gotten a PC or nice camera but they were too much. I felt like i won the lottery then didnt even buy the thing. I did however buy some laughing cow cheese and a 3 pack of different types of rolls for lunch/snack on the bus. I bought this cheese out of homage to my good friend Joseph, how i miss her and her crazy Brit ways. She taught me to eat this processed cheese in Aus and I have never looked back. It was delicious but when i decided to try it on the bus i realized that my 3 pack was all in fact cream filled rolls. 2 of the 3 had melon cream filling and the other pack was a mix of chocolate and vanilla. Sucks, and i tried to eat around it with my cheese but the bread wouldnt relent its smell. Jo, the cow laughed.
This bus ride was in Japanese only and a pretty crappy day outside so i slept most of it since I did the 4am thing the night before, but at one stop where i never knew how long we had i made it my mission to find real bread. No sliced bread in this country, it comes as huge texas toast in 3 or 5 packs, so i keep looking and happen upon a bakery at this truck stop like place. Grab a couple garlic butter baguettes and make a run back for the bus. Of course they are waiting on me and give me a unsatisfactory look to say the least. We arrive in Tokyo 10 minutes late thanks to me. The Japanese are a punctual people mind you. Luckily Haruna hadn't yet given up hope and was there to take me to her place. Will be nice not to have to think about where I am going for awhile.
