suika, that's wat they call 'em here

Did I tell you that vegetables and fruits are freakin' expensive in Japan? For example, I bought 6 apples for about Y598 (RM19) the other day. A regular size (something like the size of a football) watermelon costs around Y1,000 at the local supermarket. That's equivalent to about RM32. I forgot, how much do they cost back in Malaysia??



When Alden shared this slice of watermelon with me (which was given by his host family), I felt like I was eating gold. Had to savour each morsel carefully and not waste even the seeds :p

So when I saw a smaller one at the groceries for only Y210, I just had to buy it. Nevermind that I could've had a meal for the price, watermelon is a must during summer!
