I see cars for sale that are bad ass but really cheap and I don't get it. Some things are way over priced, others way under priced compared to what you can buy in the US.

I knew how to convert it but sometimes it was best to not convert it and just pay. While the fruit was expensive, I purchased a Honda City Turbo with 3 years of the insurance for $1200 USD.....go figure. YEN always seemed like FUNNY MONEY too when I lived there.

I'd rather have one of those apples instead of 3 average tasting apples. Jyankee - I can imagine her reaction! Huge eyes, jaw dropping. I wonder what will happen when I see cheaper fruits and veggies in the U.S. I'd probably feel like everything is on sale.

Those grapes look super. I used to use the Apples as Gifts. i think they were 200Y each, but I could be wrong.

I like how each prefecture is famous for some type of food. Henry - um.... hahahahahahahaha! Jenny - The grapes are big. The melons are average size I think.

As soon as I taste them though my opinion changes. They are the best! During fall prices of fruits like apples, and grapes start to decline. This is because they are harvested during August, September, and October. If you ever have the opportunity to come to Nagano, don't miss the chance to buy some grapes from the small cultivators found through out the prefecture.
