Mos Burger : Mos is the Boss

So today I went to ship some items that I sold on eBay, afterwards I stopped at the grocery store to stock up on some snacks. I was surprised to see Reese's regular sized, I have seen the minis around but this was the first time I have seen the regulation size cups in Japan. I didn't end up buying them but I was tempted.

One of the main reasons I went was because I was having a craving for Fanta Orange soda but it seems everyone else was also having a Fanta Orange craving because when I got to the drink section they had everything except the spot for the Fanta Orange was empty, wiped out. They had Fanta Grape but this was a Fanta Orange day and grape would just not do here. I ended up getting a small can instead but I wanted the big one.

"Lets see what else...." ;-)

Later I went for a walk and stopped at Mos Burger for dinner I wasn't really hungry I just wanted to get out and do something. Last time I wasn't clear about wanting to eat there and they gave me a to-go bag so this time I was very clear that I wanted to eat in the restaurant.

After I sat down I wrote up my lesson plan for my first English class. I forget if I mentioned it, I think I did, but I start teaching on Wednesday. The first class is kind of just an introduction with the focus being that they leave being able to ask "Where are you from" and be able to answer with "I am from xyz". Its how I will tell them where I'm from, theres some rhythm exercises to get the pacing right and some games. I think its gonna be a good and fun class. After that we will likely work closer to a book with more clear objectives but as a start and intro like I said, I think this will be good.

The thing I like about Mos Burger is that the food looks the way it looks in the ads, you know how if you go to a fast food place and look at the menu the food looks real good but then you get it and sit down and it looks like someone sat one it and the fries are limp and soggy. Its all flat and depressing and just sad which makes you feel that way and say "why am I doing this to myself?". Here the food still looks really good when you get it and the fries are always hot and crispy, "I give them a 10!" (thats a little classic line my dad had when he visited Japan a few years ago and I still think of it every time I eat them). The one thing was this time the fries tasted a little fishy, I don't mean strange or off I mean fishy. Someone must have ordered the fried fish burger and the oil still had the flavor in it, it wasn't that bad but it wasn't as good as it usually is.

Bonus picture that was taken by my sister in law the other day at the restaurant.

Other than that the day has just been filled with putting things up on ebay, nothing too exciting.
