Japanese Grocery Store

 

Like a good Ghibli movie

a Japanese grocery store

is full of mystery and wonder.

The colorful packaging and 

ubiquitous kanji is a feast 

for the eyes and imagination.

It reminds me of my time

in Korea with its peculiar smells

and inscrutable conversations.

But what I want to know is 

why the sign says you should

run and not walk to the bathroom?
