now thats just a little fruity

i went to the grocery store after work tonight and i was looking at fruit. i always look at fruit here and wish i could go back to france were it was so cheap and i ate it evveryday. that was the one thing i could afford. well times have changed. were not in kansas anymore. fruit here is expensive. so thats why i was just looking at it. some prices to give you an idea of some normal fruit prices here

grapes-one bunch- $6
one big apple-$5
one big orange-$4
honeydew- $9


and the kicker- cantelope. how much does cantelope cost in the US? france? anyone? well i can tell you how much a cantelope costs here in japan. approx. $36!!!!!!!!!!! cantelope isnt even the best fruit out there. 36????!!!! who buys that? i bought a winter coat for $40 the other day. man i should take it back so i can go buy a cantelope. how crazy.
