Supermarket tourism

OK, so if we saw this at home, with the roles reversed, we'd think it was some of the best finger-pointing material we'd ever seen. Picture tourists, running around a supermarket with cameras, photographing McCain TV dinners and lamb chops and Snickers Bars. But supermarket tourism was some of the best fun any of us had had thus far in Japan.

So, the TV dinners?


The lamb chops?

This is how awful we were. The supermarket checkout chick was not impressed by the time we bought our icecreams and left.

And the icecreams we bought were not flavours we'd ever seen before - interesting cultural variants!

They have Mickey Spam!

And green tea flavoured KitKats - there is green tea flavoured EVERYTHING here!

So we were awful foreigners, laughing crazily at chocolate bars, but my GOD it was fascinating fun!
