Trip to Korea and Japan: Day 17 - Japanese groceries

(Click here for first day, yesterday and all trips)
Even if I had a very nice evening just hanging out at BUIE GAKUEN, that's nothing to blog about. Instead, I have been saving up some pictures from when shopping groceries, just for fun. After that I added all the nice food pictures from my stay. Actually, I realized I got to taste stuff lots of stuff for the first time, like sashimi, udon and teriyaki.

Garlic, soo cheap (ニンニクはとても安かった!)

Even Japanese meat feels extra nice (日本の肉はとても良く見える)

Star Wars fast food (スターウォーズファーストフード)

And fish, of course lots of fish. Millimeter long fish and shells and indescribable stuff. (魚の多くと奇妙な魚がたくさん...)

Only noodles, but they look so neat and somehow authentic (本当の日本の麺)

Chicken eggs got company from smaller friends (鶏の卵とその小さい友人、可愛い！)

Was quite surprised, we never fins this in the miso soup in Sweden

Only a 1000 yen, in Yoichi!

Sashimi at the Onsen bath, so good.

Pork cutlet.

The skin of that chicken in Otaru was really extremely tasty

Just your everyday lunch, eh? ^_^

Luxurious Udon

Trip to Budapest: Day 2 - Downtown and Uptown

If you want to read about the trip from the start, go here.
Today was the day we would go to the eastern side of Budapest, the "Pest" side, and visit the royal district up on Castle Hill, and then do some shopping. The weather was quite harsh at times, with cold northern winds just a few degrees above zero and some light rains, which was what made us finally decide on skipping Gellert Hill.

Szechenyi Chain Bridge

Donau to the south of the bridge, with Gellert Hill to the right

The Mathias Church and Fisherman's Bastion from afar

Inside the Church

Lots of tesselation, that was fun as we just covered this in my math class...

God's and saints hanging out and keeping watch on their turf

The Buda side. Budapest is divided by the Danube much like Uppsala is, in my personal opinion. The western Buda side is more green and more hilly while the Pest side is flat and more built on.

The Roayl castle, which holds several museums (historical, modern art)

Excellent cholocate shop break.

Vegetables at Nagyesarnok, The Great Market Hall.

If you like sausages or market halls in the least, you have to visit Nagyesarnok. The prices on hungarian sausages are just fantastic. We bought 1.5 kilos and we stayed below 100 SEK/15$. 

On the upper floor you instead have a lot of stalls for clothing, jewelry, toys and more.

 If you like leather in any form of clothing, Jajcica is the place to go. They have quite the collection of used clothing, and not just leather, but that was the main thing. I saw racing overalls, heavy metal jackets, and lots and lots of boots. Prices are OK, but not cheap. Nothing that would stop you from bying *that* piece, but you wont spend money on stuff just for the sake of it.

Boots

And more boots

Day 3 is here.
