    I have not been to Japan. I have watched on youtube some videos of their trains and been astonished to see buildings that to my eyes, seem as normal as were they here in America.

    Anyway, to give you some idea of weird food there.

    Okay, I guess that I make potato salad sandwiches here in the US means I must have been a Ninja in a prior life or something.

    Potato salad sandwich? Never heard of it but it doesn't sound too bad. Anything with potatoes is good. :)

    Potato salad is really good on those Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. Anyway, something about the bread keeps the potato salad from getting too gunky on the pallet

    There are three major convenience store chains such as Seven-Eleven and each franchise invents its original foods to differentiate themselves from each other. Sandwiches are originally a British invention and something strange may come up in the process of releasing their new products.
