Japan is a very clean place to live, and one reason could be because of their trash system. There are few few public trash cans around Japan, so people tend to throw their trash away at home or a コンビニ. Compared to American Japan has double the categories of garbage burnable, PET bottles and a bunch of others. Back in America we had 3 can and the pick up would come once a week. It's things like these that make it interesting and at times frustrating to live in Japan XD

Growing up in the States we got used to how food tastes there. Pizza is savory and usually has nice crunchy crust, pasta with red sauce may have a little hint of sweetness burred in there and hamburgers come with a bun. But here in Japan some food is prepared differently, Pizza with unique toppings, sweet pasta, and hamburgers what are more ham than burger. It's been fun noticing the differences.

In this tangent of an episode we reminisce about food we miss from the states. Whenever you move there is always an aspect of your old home you miss, for us in this episode it's all the food we can't find in Japan. Mexican food, cheese, meat for cheap. Just things we grew up eating. If you ever visit California I would highly recommend a breakfast burrito they are Amazing.

One of our favorite foods here in Japan. If you like pork broth or miso you can't go wrong with a nice hot bowl of ramen. We talk about what we think makes ramen real ramen, we also talk about instant ramen and the Cup of noodle museum. Defiantly one of the must have food when visiting Japan. I would recommend several shops so you can say you have a favorite place.
