1. Hot canned coffee. Especially Suntory Boss latte (The Boss of Them All Since 1994.)
2. Vending machines providing stuff I actually want.
3. Convenience stores selling quite good food. Why can't we have Japan's 7-11 rather than our own purveyor of revolting foods?
4. Onigiri in convenience stores. Bentos in convenience stores. Desserts I enjoy eating in convenience stores.
5. Trains.
6. Subways.
7. Department stores. Especially, department store basements.
Things Cari Will Miss:
1. Calbee green pea sticks.
2. Kotatsu. (Tables with a blanket draped over and a heat source. You stick your feet under it.) When we were at Koya-san, she practically moved into ours.)
Things I Will Not Miss.
1. Public bathrooms in which the "privacy wall" totally fails to conceal men peeing. Yecch.
2. Missing my kitties.
3. Very hard futons.
4. Faux-roni, faux-rice, and faux-pebble pillows.
It is our last day. We will miss the sakura by two days. Alas.

(My favorite episode of Kamichu! is the one where the eponymous middle-school goddess spends the entire episode ensconced under the kotatsu. This strikes me as a very sensible way to spend winter vacation.)
