you know you have been in Japan too long when...

...eating Octopus balls for breakfast does not strike you as weird!!! We woke up a little too late the other morning so I had no time to prepare breakfast as usual. As a quick breakfast fix I nuked up some frozen octopus balls, drizzled it with sauce+mayo+bonito flakes...and served it with yogurt, of all things! Ha ha.

And you know what? It was reallllly good, great way to start out my day. I got the idea from a student whose son insists on having takoyaki (octopus balls) every day for breakfast. Why don't you try it one day?!
