mel-on dollar fruit
Remember back when I was in Japan and I kept harping on about expensive fruit?
Well, apparently $120 is cheap for a melon. Check out the one that just auctioned off for nearly $6,100!
Here’s the real kicker, though. The watermelon is a bargain compared to the $23,500 recently paid in Japan for a pair of Yubari cantaloupes, the AP reported, adding that melons are a luxury item commonly given as gifts.
Also, I had great experiences at the onsen I went to with Hiroko and Juha. And like all things Japanese , it has been re-invented with a theme.
