Japan Dealbreaker

Ok people, so the other day I went to the grocery store determined to find some garlic. Well, I found some for 200yen ($2) and i was like ok thats a little pricey. I picked it up expecting to have 3 or 4 in a baggy and what do I get. One little head of garlic! In my slightly louder then speaking voice I said "what?!?" it was a litle embarassing because people turned to look at me. one old lady had a huge smile on her face because she knew i was sticker shocked. I hate that look of knowing! Anyway I couldn't believe it! I'll use nearly a whole head of garlic in one dish! I asked my mom to send me minced garlic in a jar. otherwise i'm coming home. i'll miss fresh garlic. it will only be for special occasions, like my birthday. Bet when you saw the title you didn't think garlic would cause me to reconsider did you?
