A typical lunch from a not so typical vending machine...

For lunch, I usually go to the grocery store and pick up a bento box or a roll. Back home I would never buy a ready made meal from a convenience store (too sketchy), but pre-made grocery store food here is fresh and good, and could be compared to that of a foodcourt.

After trying a few bento boxes and sushi sets, I've setlled on these delicious
tuna/mayonnaise rolls and a piece of vegetable tempura. I hope that after training I'll be able to find these elsewhere...
You can also buy some interesting drinks in vending machines, like this bottled liquid jello.
Speaking of vending machines, this one at Omiya Station looks like a giant iPad. As if seeing the actual product wasn't enough, now you can see an image of it first.
If only the Japanese put in half the energy they used in the making of this machine into insulating their houses. The winters aren't that cold, but with paper thin walls it feels like Siberia.
