The 23rd shortest post on this entire site! The shortest one would be <a href="http://www.j2fi.net/2008/05/02/guess-what/" title="Jason Irwin dot Net | Guess What!?!" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, made the day after Reiko and I were (officially) married. :grin: 129 words in total.

I make do with cornflakes in Japan, but one box is only good for two bowls. One thing I really do miss, especially in the summer, is orange squash. It's non-existent here! :sad: LOL, the shortest blog post you’ve ever written?

What does your wifey like to make for breakfast? I guess you must have eaten traditional Japanese breakfasts when you lived with her family. Hmmm, Fig Newtons, ketchup chips, it's funny how all those little differences get magnified when you move away.

That said, I might just make the trip if Costco had some Nabisco fig newtons :roll: I don’t think there’s a Costco anywhere near around Gifu or Aichi, and it would seem silly to go all the way to Osaka or Tokyo to get a few boxes of Cap’n Crunch.
