Mmm. My life has been revolutionized by the discovery that I can buy packets of instant corn soup from the local quickie mart. Just add hot water! I am no longer at the mercy of the hotel breakast buffet to provide me with my corn soup fix.
Guess what I'm eating right now? That's right, corn soup.
In other news, it's raining right now in Nagasaki. Perfect afternoon to sit by the window with a newspaper and a cup of warm soup.
Earlier today I had a bit of an upset stomach (not corn-related) and had to go to the pharmacy. Pharmacies here do not carry pepto bismol and are apparently the only place in Japan where they do not speak English. I think I did a pretty good pantomime, and was given something by the pharmacist. The instruction sheet comforts me that it is a pepto-like substance, and not, for example, hemorrhoid cream.
