We made our first visit to the on-base Japanese 7-11 tonight on our walk home from dinner! Half the size of your US 7-11, but more variety! Everything from toothbrushes to dried fish with heads on!
There are a LOT of Japanese officials and workers on the base, so this store services their quick food needs. But we are authorized to shop there as well. It actually is known to have the best Yen exchange rate on base.
For dinner tonight we ate at the convention center on base which was hosting a Mongolian BBQ night. You fill your bowl, weigh it before you add sauces, and if you guess your cost within 5 cents you get it FREE!!! I guessed Maddy's and got hers FREE!! Sadly hers was the cheapest bowl....but it is something! The Japanese worker who weighs the bowls even gives you two tries and tells you higher or lower! Too funny!! The center hosts dinners twice a week and then is a hub for big events and changes of command!
Mike bought the following items to try....
Some kind of chow-mein in a bun??
