By the way, "begul" in the pricelist means "bagel"

5. They sell cream puffs in regular supermarkets here.

They sell bags of mini cream puffs as well.

And it looks like the Ikebukuro district of Tokyo is "Cream Puff City"

Maybe I'll make a third trip there soon.

I've done the four major East Asian countries (lived in Korea, live in China, been to Japan, been to Mongolia).

Working on SE Asia now (been to Thailand, Singapore and Philippines). Siem Reap in Cambodia is next.

Limited expenses. . .house stipend on top of the salary, full health/dental paid by the school.

Think about coming to Asia to work.

10. I tried it when I was in LA last time,

it's pretty good. It's definitely different from the stuff I usually run across.

That cutting thing in the video is one of the neatest things I've seen in a while. Totally going to buy one of those.
