How do they do that?

It's like the wrapping on the plastic on the onigiri in Japan is so intricate.

It makes you realize why they didn't give up in World War II.

Like it's just so good at it.

And I find some soba noodles.

Then we have a new problem, which is where do we eat this?

Because you can't eat in public.

Famously, cannot eat anywhere but homework restaurants, basically.

And in some 7-Elevens, you can eat, though.

There's a separate section with a little table and stuff, but most of them you can't.

So we're like, do we just go for it?

Tear open the packages and start eating in the 7-Eleven.

I'm sweating a little bit because I really don't want to be the guy who gets all talking to about this, but...

It has to happen.

And so we're standing by the smoothie machine in 7-Eleven shoveling this enormous and a woman comes up to us like, yeah, no eating like very forcefully.

And we're like, oh, God, bad Gaijins.

Must be nice.

Can't do that here in Japan.

So we slink out embarrassed.

We sneak outside.
