I don’t think I have ever ordered a hamburger or cheeseburger at McD’s in my life. I just hate patties, except the ones from In n Out (U.S. only) and MOS Burger (East Asia only). Sometimes it is depressing to live in Canada.
I was not crazy about MOS Burger during the co-op days, but there was no MOS Burger nearby, let alone a Green MOS Burger. Next time you visit Japan, locate a Green MOS Burger ahead of time and make a trip to try their Takumi cheeseburger.

Enough blogging from me. I need to go into hibernation for the next few weeks.

The first time I went to Nikko, 5 years ago, everything was under construction and there was absolutely nothing to see. I did not have a chance to visit during my internship, so I had to go this time.

I stayed at two very different business hotels while I was in Tokyo. The first being the very-popular-among-tourists Toyoko-Inn at Ikebukuro Kita-Guchi. This is the third time I stayed there and I highly recommend it. 7140 yen per night for a single room is a great deal for the service they offer (super clean+internet+breakfast).
It is not omg!-cheap (see the next one behind the cut) compare to other business hotels, but it still beats staying at a “regular” hotel that starts at 15,000 yen. Most people I saw were there for the Fukubukuro business anyway.
