Gomi

I bought supplies at Costco a few weeks back and stopped by the food courts to get a hotto dokku. The Costco hot dog has been one of the foods I've been craving since coming here. It's a little more expensive than back home, but it still comes with the refillable soda. The refillable soda isn't such a great value considering that you can't take the soda out of Costco. There's nothing to prevent you from doing that except that once you finish the soda, you'd have to carry it around forever because of the lack of trash cans in this barren wasteland. The time-honored American tradition of refilling your soda and taking it on the go has been spoiled by the anti-soda government here. I did buy some 12 packs of soda and had them shipped back to my residence. Costco was the first time I ever saw a 12 pack of soda in this country. Maybe it'll be the only place that I'll ever see it.
