What 'only in Japan' sandwiches do you like?

I recently wrote about how I miss the egg sandwiches in Japan ( https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/wZepZ-food_atsugi_shi_kanagawa ) . What sandwiches do you like in Japan that you can't get readily in your home country?

    My #1 is menchi katsu sandwiches! My local convenience stores are a bit hit or miss as to whether they have them in stock, but whenever I see them I grab them. Not very healthy, but so tasty!

Your best 100 yen store buys

I love finding useful things at 100 yen stores, although I primarily go there for crafting supplies. I'd love to know what your best 100 yen store purchases have been. Maybe it's a kitchen implement that makes life a bunch easier, or a storage item that has given you back more space and a feeling of organization. Maybe it's even home decor that just brings you joy or something along those lines! Looking forward to hearing about your fave buys!

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?
