Bento

I just had an excellent lunch. It wasn`t any different than we have here at the school everyday, but, today, it just tasted excellent. Japanese bento (box lunch) is pretty good sometimes. You get a box divided into 4 squares. Rice is always one of them. Today, there were also 3 small muffin-cup sized samples of Japanese veggies, one side of tuna salad (with carrots, cucumber, lettuce, and spinach), and karage (fried chicken); even a little side of pineapple for dessert.
Being from the US, I`m so used to a main dish and fries; having a sampling of a lot of things was nice (made all the more better by not being so enormous as to be impossible to finish). That`s it. It was just really good. More meaningful content later.
