mushy broccoli and chicken (hopefully fully cooked!!)

i walked to the grocery store by myself. i didn't get lost. the one problem with the grocery store is that I DONT KNOW WHAT TO BUY BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK JAPANESE FOOD!!! one can try to cook recipes from home but good luck finding all the ingrediants or get ready to spend a rediculous amount of money. let's look at pasta at home. i could pay less than a dollar....right? or close to for a box of pasta. yeah good luck with that here. they might as well ask for your soul unstead of x-amount of yen. i tried looking up japanese recipes but had little success. i love food but when it comes to being on my own (even more in japan) life would be easier if i didn't have to eat. for now it's mushy broccoli and chicken (hopefully fully cooked) oh and pre-packaged sandwhiches and rice balls at the convenience stores. yay!!!

so (and this is aimed at you mom) i have been trying to be very thrifty and i cringe during every grocery store visit and every 2 dollars spent on the bus. i need a bicycle!! (which is getting purchased after the cellphone)
