KitKat has unleashed three new flavors in roughly a month! Not only do we have melon, peach, and cherry KitKats, but now there’s kiwi, pinneapple and orange! Also, in the fun size, they’ve released banana to the existing blueberry and lemon funsize lines. If you’re having a fruit overload, don’t worry. Just take a break with a green tea or white chocolate KitKat. Kid’s stuff you say? Then have a glamorous brandy and orange kitkat or a strawberry and nuts. KitKats are serious business in Japan considering the pinneapples were nearly a buck fifty.

I will be bringing an assortment of KitKats home for souvenirs. Odds are they’ll be gooey and stuck to the wrappers from overheating in the luggage. But, I’m sure they’ll taste the same!

I still got it! 20/15 vision! Yes, my vision balls are better than 20/20. My hawk eyes were confirmed at the mandatory health checkup for city workers. It’s a once a year checkup for anyone employed by the city, so that includes me (not my fellow teachers). I was dressed in my normal polo and khakis teaching gear while the other town workers were dressed as if they were being tested by Gatorade labs. The whole thing was pretty uneventful although, I did get poked a couple times before they found a good vein to withdraw blood from. I’ll learn the results of the blood test when I come back in August, same goes for the urine test.

After donating my urine sample into a plastic coffee sized cup, I got in line to hand in the golden coffee. We weren’t given lids so I was standing in a line of atleast 10 people who were also holding their “coffees.” I had to keep telling myself that it was my pee that I was smelling, my pee. At the front of the line was a table with a girl working behind it. She was sitting down dunking sticks into urine and watching the stick for color changes. In front of her were cups of urine laid out as if a marathon were coming through. I was pretty disgusted when I finally reached the girl since I was able to see into all these cups. But the poor girl didn’t seem to mind that she got stuck at the piss table instead of the blood pressure queue.

I can’t wait for Taco Bell Taquitos! I just saw a commercial for heaven wrapped in a grilled flour tortilla and now I’m a starvin’ Marvin. The only reason for coming back home in August is for the Crunch Wrap Supreme and Chicken Taquitos!!! (No offence to my loved ones) [Ok. That is all folks]

I managed to get a group off boys to shout, “USA! USA! USA!” in the halls. What a joyous feeling. Kobayashi Takeru got his ass handed to him today by the American Hero, Joey Chestnut (read about it here). There’s a new power eater in town! I told some other teachers about their crushing defeat and some had already heard the news. One teacher tried to explain to me that Kobayashi was injured. I kindly informed her that Kobayashi broke is own record, meaning he was on top of his game, and he still lost!! Chestnut beat him by 3 hot dogs! Poor Kobayashi was helpless, injury or not. Today, I’m all USA!
