$ 3.25 for a hot dog! Here we pay $ 1.50! In Japan, salad is $ 8 but we pay $ 5! for a slice of piazza in Japan: $4 USA: $2. Forget about culture shock, it's sticker shock!
Plastic and other things we dont really need. No real food for sale. The beef maybe injected with saline. The cows are fattened and fed hormones twice daily till they reach a certain weight and sent for slaughter.
I work in a Costco and I can tell you that every customer is fed up to show his Costco card. It's not our fault, it's the way to calculate how many members enter every half hour, so the warehouse can know how many cashiers must be opened, so it can't be all jammed at the same time.
For an American that must be so surreal. You are on the other side of the world, and yet, everything is similar if not the same as it is back home. Even those ready-made meals in the food section are the same type and portion sizes as their counterparts in the U.S.
@mrivera1 i was thinking the same thing about the ready made meals....Im in australia and i always buy those wraps for myself and the kids to eat on the way home.

@activeone32 not in Costco meat. There is a way you can tell, but the ones there don't seem to contain any hormones.

Wow, everything looks just about the same from the States. I heard that things of western culture are becoming quite familiarized over there.
