    We don't even like fish, nevermind raw fish :o

  • I only like fish as it is meant to be served. Battered, deep fried with lots of salt and vinegar but the Japanese food wasn't an issue. Everything was amazing quality.

    Sushi is *awesome*, you people are mad :p

    Sorry Ed :( I like yakitori and korokke? I like meat :D We are looking forward to weird vending machines and noodles and the basements of department stores with beautiful pastries and desserts :drool:

    I don't like fish full stop though? But I haven't tried it in years. I feel I should give it another go but... hm.
  • The basement food areas with pastries are amazing. Even the fruit and veg look so good.

    I know, they look all huge and perfect!

    So, I am fully in holiday fever. Planning and googling and ecstatic :D

    How we are going to (help) fund this:

    Christmas money safely in the savings account. I also plan to start ebaying things, I have 3 unworn dresses ('cause silly me missed the returns period thinking it was 4 weeks when it was 2) and lots of bits and bobs we just don't use. I have a collection of books, over 4 bookcases in pristine condition, I love love love books, but I'm reading more on e-book format nowadays, with some of my favourite authors releasing only e-books, so don't know if it's worth getting rid of that. Some of the books I haven't read in years!

    So yeah, few things to do before the last gruelling months of uni start back, first time I can say I'm not looking forward to it :(

    Best of luck with the books, I was finding Green Metropolis a real slog towards the end of my attempts to clear out, struggling to make any money after postage. To be honest, 50% of my decision to quit was probably just having the same moronic 'what service do you require?' conversation with the woman in the Post Office despite the fact that I asked for the same thing every couple of days for about 6 months.

    Yeah postage is the killer. Was thinking of pricing up something like webuyb00k$ where they actually send you a postage label out prepaid and seeing if that is worth it for the space even if not the money?

    Post Office sounds horrific :eek: I hate their medieval opening hours - ok, fine, I'm too lazy to get up early on a Saturday!
