Trying to lose weight

By just eating salad and mushroom soup for lunch and sweet potatoes plus a small plate of home-cooked bee hoon for my dinner, I shed off a kilogram of my body weight. From now onwards, I will be watching my weight by eating less carbohydrate, sugary and fast food.

Snacks and titbits in Japan

In Japan there are plenty of snacks like potato chips, cream puffs etc. The chips come in many varieties and cheap too. Take for example the spicy chips (126 gm) is less than S$2. The cream puffs are sweet and soft and cost 50 cents each. I love the egg and chicken sandwiches ($3). The bread for the sandwiches are tender and soft.
If you love eating, Japan is a good place to be in. I've since gained 3 kilos since living in Japan.

Government handing out cash to its citizens

Due to the adverse impact of the Covid19 on the Japanese, the government  is giving out 300,000 Yen (S$4,000) to each household in the coming months. This is a welcomed move but not all households will qualify for the cash handout. Only those who had their income reduced and facing hardship will qualify for it.
The government will work out the details and announce it when it is ready.
