Hmm they have this thing on the travel channel about Hawaii and that you can't the black sand home with you.
Yeah, Pocari Sweat, Lemon Water, Calpis are three of my favorites. You can get that at Marukai Market and Mitsuwa Markets In So Cal and Nor Cal, they have locations around, think mainly in CAL.
There are lots of different Pocky, tried several diff. kinds, good stuff. I think i also tried the small white coffee(from the pix), in Akihabara for about 120 yen, not bad, but saw it at the store at Marukai for $1.88
there's a great place in leeds, england called bar 88 that does oriental food including chinese, thai and japanese. recommend it to anyone coming to this part of the world.

I like to make my own apple pie. It's actually something that is pretty simple to make from scratch. Put some vanilla ice cream on top, and finish it off with a cuppa coffee ... ohhhhhh :drool:

Winner Downs 49 Hot Dogs in 12 Minutes
Mon Jul 4, 6:54 PM ET
For the fifth straight year, it was a victory Takeru Kobayashi could truly relish. Kobayashi, 27, captured the Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest Monday, gobbling a nauseating 49 dogs in 12 minutes — but missing his own world record of 53 1/2, set at last year's July Fourth competition.
The win means the coveted Mustard Yellow Belt will return to Japan for the ninth year out of the past 10. New Jersey's Steve Keiner, who won in 1999, is the only American to capture the title in the past decade.
Kobayashi, of Nagano, stands 5 feet 7 inches and weighs just 144 pounds.
The runner-up was Sonya Thomas of Alexandria, Va. — known as The Black Widow on the competitive-eating circuit — who set an American record by downing 37 hot dogs in the same 12 minutes.
Thomas, who manages a Burger King restaurant, separates the hot dog from the bun and eats them separately. She dips the bun in water to make it easier to swallow with less chewing.
"I want to be No. 1 in the world, so I practice," she told CNN shortly after the contest. "I'm working on more speed."
She said she was planning a light dinner — maybe a salad.
"My stomach doesn't hurt," she said, "but my jaw is tired."
Thomas, who weighs a remarkable 105 pounds, is a rising speed-eating star. Last December in Atlantic City, N.J., she finished off 89 meatballs — about six pounds' worth — in 12 minutes. And in August, she captured a lobster-eating contest in Maine by consuming 38 of the creatures in 12 minutes.
The hot dog contest takes place outside the original Nathan's in Coney Island. The contest was first held there in 1916.
