3000 Metres Steeplechase

While doing my 3.98 km in 30 mins at the running machine (mild jogging machine in this case) in the gym I watched a dozen young ladies in Osaka run 3 km in less than ten minutes, and all that with barriers and water jumps on the course, and big (mostly East European) guys tossing around heavy hammers nearby. Wow.

Wendy's Super Value Menu

Wendy

Wendy's have a Super Value selection of ten things for 105 yen each.

  • A small cup of chilli beans
  • A small bag of french fries
  • A doughnut (plain, sugar or cinnamon)
  • A small vanilla soft cream
  • A small chocolate soft cream
  • Three pieces of chicken nuggets (barbeque or mustard sauce)
  • A junior hamburger
  • A junior cheese burger
  • A junior teriyaki chicken burger
  • A junior barbecue burger

Tonight I ordered them all. In the interest of full disclosure, I admit to deferring the BBQ burger, the teriyaki chicken and the chocolate soft cream to Faiz.
