I take the advice.... but you're serious that you've never seen candy bars and chips in Japanese vending machines? Instant ramen and so forth too, depending where you go.

Better not explained (Pokari sounds like a South American pig variety to me)!

Pocari Sweat appears to be a Japanese equivalent of Gatorade. Tastes about the same, anyway. What I remember is my sister sending me a "care package" of several odd things one could obtain from vending machines. Chief among them being six-ounce cans of various fruit-flavored beers. Not lambics, but beers with fruit flavoring in them. Apple was the best (for certain values of "best") as it tasted somewhat like hard cider. Banana was indescribably bad. Grape and lime were sort of toward the middle. -Marc -- Marc Reeve actual email address after removal of 4s & spaces is c4m4r4a4m4a4n a4t c4r4u4z4i4o d4o4t c4o4m |

Did you ever taste strawberry beer? The Germans used to make it (and maybe
still do).....not too bad if you like the taste of strawberries, although I'm not too sure that I'd say the same for beer lovers. (^-^))) George Z. "Marc Reeve" wrote in message ...

(^-^))) You can get pretty good Belgian raspberry and cherry beers here... bit unusual, but very refreshing for an occasional change John |
