To illustrate what a crazy world we live in, my next post is about the cost of sushi.

I paid for sushi for three at a "kaiten" aka conveyor belt sushi restaurant, Kappa Sushi. It's not all you can eat, but I always stuff my face as though it were. In addition to being able to grab whatever you want off the belt, you can special order anything, and a small toy train rushes the plate to your table.

I went to town: tuna; shrimp; crab; corn; sukiyaki; fried shrimp. Oh my god, the fried shrimp is to die for, still hot when it gets to you! When was the last time you ordered something fried that came hot n fresh?

After about ten plates, I was stuffed. What did it cost? Two thousand yen, aka $26. I'm talking fourteen plates of sushi here, three people fed. In America you would spend that much on a roll or two. So to recap, TIL in Japan, pizza = expensive, sushi = cheap.
