Bento Box Time!

The bento at the top-left was bought at Tokyo Station and eaten in the bullet train that would bring us, 39Jishuu-sei (trainees), to the factory that would host us for our 3-week long 'apprenticeship'. ¥ 1,050 - all veggie.

The other ones were eaten at lunchtime in the factory's canteen. ¥270 - but mostly meat or fish. Yet so yummy for your money!

And I quickly learnt how to barter meaty food for those cherished vegetables that the boys hate so much. And bring a banana and an orange that would inevitably be split among my group (4 people).

Good times.

Now, back in Tokyo, it feels like a relatively relaxed bootcamp.
