I mostly rested. But in the evening, I started to go stir crazy.<\/p>\n<p>So I decided to go to the 7-11 that I saw on Google maps which was apparently a 20 minute walk away. I usually go to Family Mart, because it&#8217;s closer, but I hear 7-11 has good salads, so I figured I&#8217;d go there.<\/p>\n<p>This was a dumb idea.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to walk there. Another dumb idea. In the rain. Really dumb idea.<\/p>\n<p>I spent about an hour looking for a convenience store that didn&#8217;t exist, in the rain. I did find a Lawson a block up the street, but it didn&#8217;t have <em>anything<\/em>, as in, it had been completely <em>cleared out<\/em> of bentos.<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea that that sort of thing was even <em>possible<\/em> in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>I trudged to the Family Mart, which was full of good food as usual. I decided to go for a hamburger tonight, because I miss America. (Pun intended.)<\/p>\n<p>I nuked it when I got home, and had it with some Pringles. It was actually pretty good when I added some mustard to it.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, this wasn&#8217;t a meal that would win any nutrition awards, but it was the best I could do given that I spent an hour walking to get it.<\/p>\n<p>And now that I&#8217;m writing about this, I&#8217;m getting hungry again.
