Hello, I had a short break. How was your weekend?

Last week, we went to the Latino supermarket. I like collecting realistic miniatures.

  • My collection (erasers)

Japanese capsule toys are called “gacha gacha,” “gacha,” or “gachapon.” They are small collectible items sold in plastic capsules. You insert coins into the vending machine, turn the handle, and a sealed capsule drops out.  My daughter likes it. The other day, she found the vending machine. It is rare in Florida.

In the supermarket, we got donuts and pineapple jam (unusual here). We often go to the Asian supermarket. The Asian supermarkets sell live fish and crabs.

A long time ago, I went to Okinawa. I was surprised by the dead pig heads and feet displayed at the market.

Food culture is fascinating.
