About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

obachan;
Sorry the rain ruined your plans, but the bento box looks so wonderful.. I'm always amazed at the packaging of Japanese products...so beautiful..
I hope it tasted as good as it looks..

greetings obachan,
i've always loved those bento boxes you can buy in the train stations. so well packaged and healthy, unlike the stuff you get in airports and train stations here in the us. sigh.

Looks good!!! By the way, I am also very shy to snap pictures in public.....most of the time, people will be starring at me one kind.

> MsrT --- I loved it, too. Everything tasted good. It was worth the price.
> carlyn --- Yeah, it tasted good and the wrapping was good, too...the only thing I didn't like was the word on the wrapping, "Hare-no kuni" which roughly means "the land of sunny days." Why did it rain when I visited there?!!
> rae --- Hi rae ! Thanks for visiting my site.
The food we can get at train stations and airports are too expensive, though. That's something I don't like...
> emotionalistic --- Oh, you feel the same way? I noticed that the guy sitting behind me found out about my secret photo-taking because of the reflection on the window glass. ;P
> Patrick --- Yep. Did you know that they have some lovely ekibens at Kyoto stn., too?

Hi Obachan,
You don't need to be shy when taking photos. I don't think anyone even minds. By the way, the Japanese that come to visit Hawaii take pictures of all their food. I think that's why most people don't pay attention!
This bento looks so yummy. I like to buy bentos because of the variety that you get for such a good price. Don't you agree?

Reid,
Well, things are a bit different around here where blogging isn't very popular yet. I think even here it doesn't look too strange when tourists are taking food photos, because that's understandable why they want to do so.
Yep, some bentos do have good variety for a good price, but some are just too expensive for their quality, I think...
