I'm sure everyone has heard stories about $10 peaches in Japan, and I'm sure most people called bullshit on that. Here is photographic proof, that things really are that expensive here. These melons are about $27... I asked roomie why so expensive and she said "Is that expensive? We have 10,000 yen melon too." That's $92. Theres some kind of expensive melons joke in there, but Im not touching that one...
