jinianI broke my power adaptor! But I fixed it again. Note to travelers or anyone else encountering this evil style of power strip:

Your item is not just kind of stuck in there and susceptible to pulling. It is locked in, and you have to turn it to theright LEFT if you don't want to break your power adaptor into three pieces, have to figure out where those little copper bits belong, locate cyanoacrylate glue in the lab, and abstract said glue for embarrassed but completely successful repairs.
The campus combini (convenience store) is truly cheap, bread and onigiri and a tiny Snickers bar for 250 yen. I had yakisoba bread for lunch yesterday. Yep, that is a sandwich bread (long skinny bun, very soft texture, kinda like a hot dog bun) sliced open with noodles in it, all right. Plus a little pickled ginger and mayo. Bizarre but tasty, like so many things here.
Tuesday's mystery onigiri was: truly a mystery, I still don't know even after eating it. I think that pink stuff was spicy tuna puree; though it was salmon-colored, on sober reflection I think that was an average of tuna color and capsicum color. (I need one of those smartphones that can translate images, because looking up kanji by stroke number is mostly not worth the trouble.)
I may not know enough Japanese to be much help, but I know enough to realize that "so desu yo, ne?" is the exact equivalent of "I know, right?" and to find this hilarious.
