Okay, just another day in Japan. I'm going to get some lunch. I'm on my lunch break now.

Supermarket. Here's the bakery section. So many people here today. Well, it's Sunday, that's why it's so busy. I'm going to try to get a bento. See if they have a bento box. Oh here we go. Sushi. What we got here. Okinomiyaki. Looks good. Umm, tempura shrimp. Looks good too. Potatoes. Chicken, crispy chicken. That looks good. tonkatsu. This is a friend. Oh what you say, friend pork. Deep fried pork. Gyoza, dumplings, wieners, fish. Over here we have tempura. This is pumpkin tempura. This is onion tempura. Eggplant tempura. Potato tempura. Shrimp. Chicken. This is called アメリカンドッグ, American dog. American, uh, I don't know, what do you call this in English. I forgot. Hamburger. All kinds of good stuff. Okay, so I'm going to get some lunch and head over to the pier and just relax a little bit.

Okay, so I just walked 3 minutes and I'm here at the pier. What I love about Kobe is that no matter where you are you're always close to the ocean, which is nice cause I love the ocean because I grew up near the ocean in San Francisco. Oh, here it is. Well I'm at like a pier right now. Let's see. Well, you can't see much of it here, but there's some boats out there. And some kids playing here at the park.

But yeah, I'll show you what I bough. Okay, I just got some rice here. I've been eating a lot of rice since I came to Japan and Asia. And then I have. . . let's see, what is this. This is tempura. This is fish right here. I couldn't read the kanji so I don't know what kind of fish it is. This right here is pumpkin tempura. You're thinking like, wow pumpkin tempura, that's strange, but it tastes really good. Oh, the pumpkin here in Japan is not the same kind of pumpkin we eat in America. The pumpkin is originally from Vietnam I think, I'm not sure, but It's really sweet, it's really good. And then I got some onion tempura which I've never eaten before. This is going to be my first time today. Then I got some fried, what is this here, fried chicken.

Yeah, so that's my lunch and I'm just going to have my lunch here in a nice peaceful setting and then go back to work. Um, and that's it. That's my afternoon. It's great.

What shopping market are you in? Is the tempura stand with all the vegetables common?

[japanascope]

@PinkGloom Yeah, vegetable tempura is very common: pumpkin, lotus root, eggplant, potato, gobo, etc. The supermarket is called Kansai Supa- 関西スーパー

[albcoyote]

I would love to have some of your selection of food over here.

[LancerJak]

What? Your from San Francisco? Oh sweet!

[Nushgala]

oh, kinda like your life? fake and the same? ^_^ enjoy it. otherwise your life might not be exciting enough to keep living.

[GrayAu]

@Nushgala no it just means you're obsessed with a place that is the same but different as any other. Every person and place is the same, but different. The same happiness can be found anywhere on the globe. And there are no past lives. Nonetheless there are those of us, and pray you be one, that are drawn to different culture, which is in fact the only thing that makes the faceless masks we really are appear to be different.

I can't wait to move to Japan one day. I think I was Japanese in a past life or two. Lol! Just had lunch; miso soup with spinach and wheat cakes. How is it living in Japan?

[rahim2600]

I was trying to see how much the price of the tempura was. That huge okonomiyaki for 398 yen looked like a good deal :)

[kayanomae]

How I miss these kind of cooked foods in Japan! I remember there was super market in my hometown Fukuoka that put all the cooked foods left over for the day for quick sale half priced every evening after 6 pm. I used to think it was a pretty good deal.

Your lunch look so yummy!!! Very nice video!!!
