A typical night after work in Japan:
“Wow it’s not even that late and I feel really tired…but I’m hungry.
I should probably cook food… *Enters Family Mart convenient store* Oh wow there’s a salad with TOMATOES. That’s healthy. Why is it so expensive to get tomatoes in Japan…okay now I’m just going to give up making food. I’ll at least choose something healthy. Okay there’s soup and…oh are these individually packaged boiled eggs…? That’s so cute. Ah, but I’m afraid of heating it up and something going wrong so let’s play it safe with just the soup.”
*Checks vitamin section*
“Wow there’s always so much when I come back at night. I guess it’s for people who’s about to pull an all nighter?”
“Ah there’s always room for dessert right? Ah red bean flavor Häagen-Dazs…or a cream puff! It’s less than 120 yen!? (1 dollar) But the seven eleven cream puff is better…Nevermind. Healthy today. I’m going for healthy. *Cashier rings me up* That comes up to be 636 yen (5-6 dollars) for a salad and soup… It’s not much…but I’m sure it adds up. Okay time to go home.”
