Pret A Manger

I tried the cafe in front of the Furragut West Metro station.





Pret's Greek Falafel Wrap

I ate "Greek Falafel Wrap."  It was tasty.

BTW, I had no time to go to the beauty salon last month. I'm thinking about getting a haircut this week.

Priority Mail International

"Priority Mail International"
https://www.usps.com/ship/priority-mail-international.htm

Priority Mail International® service is a way to send mail and packages up to 70 lbs to over 180 countries.

It deliveries your mail in 6 to 10 business days.

Also, it includes tracking information with our Track & Confirm tool.

But I missed the description that tracking & confirmation service is "Not available for Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes or Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes."

Ahh..., where is my package right now??

Potbelly Sandwich

Today I would like to write about "Potbelly", a popular sandwich chain in the United States. There are several stores in D.C. as well.




I like the toasty warm sandwich on the Potbelly Sandwich Shop. Every sandwich on menu is made to order. 




[How to Order]
First, choose between multigrain wheat or regular bread. Then, choose size from Originals ("regular" size) or Bigs (30% bigger). Either one can be ordered on "Thin Cut" bread (1/3 less bread).

Their toppings include: add Mayo, Mustard, Hot Peppers, Lettuce, Onion, Tomato, Pickle, Oil and Italian seasoning - or don't. It's up to you to make your sandwich the way you like it.


My preference is  Wreck, which contains salami, roast beef, turkey, ham & Swiss cheese.  



I'm sure this cafe will be a hit in Japan!

Hay fever?

It was cool today. It poured and thundered at night. I wonder if it'll be a nice day tomorrow.

I have a stuffy nose recently. I wonder if I have hay fever. Also, my eyes get tired easily these days.  I wonder if it's because I'm always on my PC. Furthermore, I have a canker sore in my mouth.

Maybe I should pay better attention to what I eat.

Momorama Sushi


This post is about "Momorama Sushi." Despite its name, which literally means peach mountain in Japan, Momoyama is operated by Koreans. Many residents in Japan may be suspicious of Korean-run Japanese restaurants; but in fact, there are many Japanese restaurants operated by Koreans in the United States; and some of them are good.

I went there with my friends in the evening.The place of Momoyama is a bit tricky to find if you don't know where to look. The service was excellent.  It was fast and friendly.

We ordered Sushi and sake. As for the sushi itself, it looked fine.  The pieces of fish were proportionally sized for the rice, not too big as you sometimes find in non-Japanese run sushi bars.  The rice, however, was not good.  It was not warm (as it should be when the sushi is freshly made), and it was too al dente.  I had mixed feeling – some were fresh, but some did not taste fresh.

Domo-kun

What?

 



I found Domo-kun!  Domo-kun is the official mascot of Japan's NHK television station.  The popularity of Domo-kun is high outside of Japan.  Character goods that are sold in the United States are fancy and different from those in Japan's domestic market. It's interesting.
