At the supermarket for my daily shop, I thought that it will be bit of a shock to go back to the UK way of grocery shopping. Here there is no conveyor belt at the checkout. You hand over your basket (never a trolley, though you can put your basket in a special trolley to save you carrying it) and as the items are swiped they are carefully packed in another basket. Then you have to take it to a packing area and put it in bags. People here shop every day; a lot don't have a car and therefore have to carry it home, limiting the amount that can be bought. Prices vary quite widely even in the same area so people seem to spread their purchases around.
We went to Korakuen after lunch and met Bettina and Jo. Neither of them had been before and they seemed to like it as much as I do. The kids had a great time wandering around and the garden was looking very fresh and vibrant.
