I went on a grocery run to add a bit more food to my pantry. The other students recommended going to a farther grocery store than the Kyoto Coop, and pointed it out on the hand-drawn map. After verifying its location on a better map, I headed out. When I got there I realized it was the same one I had found when I got horribly lost on Friday. This time, though, I got there and back without any wrong turns, despite taking a different route.
I went armed with a list, and got everything on it except for potatoes. I had put rice on it, because I actually know some things I can do with rice. The rice here is really expensive... the cheapest 5 kg (11lb) bag was over 1800円, about $18. That wound up being half of my overall bill. At least it'll last me a long time. I also splurged and spent about two bucks on some ice cream and the same on some soda... I'm allowed some weakness.
