Costco

So we went to Costco yesterday. Gotta love how close it is to us. It's only a mere 60ish km from us in Funabashi, Chiba (near Tokyo), and thanks to the magic that is Japanese roadways, it's a painless SEVEN HOUR ROUND TRIP!!!!! Yes, SEVEN HOURS!!!!!!! Suffice to say, we never go more than once a month. Hell, if we could get a decent selection of Western food elsewhere, we'd probably never go there... if not for the pizza. Costco has the best pizza in Kanto, PERIOD. It's so good that a friend of ours tagged along for that reason alone.

We also had our newest teacher come with, then spent the rest of the evening hanging out with her and a few of our co-workers, hence the reason for a Monday post. Our house has turned into a bit of a meeting point for our friends, as it has more space than the apartments (just think back to our original apartment - that's what they're living in). This also contributed to the late post, as we were up untill 2.30am with guests, then up @ 9am for the Costco run (which is late considering it opens at 10am, and any time you can shave off of peak traffic time is MARVELOUS).

So anyway, that's the latest. Oh, and we stopped by our favorite liquor store (as Costco isn't solely a liquor store). It's called Big Boss, has a picture of Al Capone, and has an insane selection of booze. Snapped a pic with a bottle of whiskey, the quantity of which can be found in pretty much ANY standard liquor store in Japan. Enjoy.
