dia-Bet-"ya wouldn't want to eat it"-ic Sweets in Japan

I'm not really sure what that title has to do with anything...I guess in my little mind, within the big head, I always seem to associate no sugar to Diabetics. Mom, Mrs. Clapsaddle-Future Nurse, "am I right?" Let me know.

Anyway, it was all inspired by a doughnut (which was touted as being "jumbo" on the package...sheeettt, if this thing was jumbo then I should be having wet dreams about the statue of liberty because I am a freaking giant).
So back to the 'nut. It was horrible, no wonder it was still in a package in my office and not in the small room of my living quarters going for a swim.
The sweets in Japan are horrible. Bottom line. When I went home last time I returned with a bag of Reese's peanut-butter cups to give to my students for Valentine's Day. They didn't like them. Weird-o's.
They put stuff like "sweet soy beans" in doughnuts here (which isn't all bad, but it just isn't very doughnut-like). All of the cakes taste like fish. I am not messin' with ya either (however the fish taste may simply always be a lingering bit of crap from a previous meal resting amongst my teeth).
Well there, I've been inspired by a bad doughnut. All of it wouldn't be that bad if I could get my hands on a bagel...but you know how the Japanese feel about bagels (if you do for some reason know how they feel please write me and let me know because I haven't got a freakin' clue).

Tonight I eat amongst the Sumos. Pictures shall be posted tomorrow along with a few more choice words.

ps: anyone ever heard of "Lawsons" convienance stores? Let me know if you have. Thanks.
