Costco - Tuesday the 24th

Tuesday we headed to Costco! I know it - crazy to think of it here in Japan! One of Kendra's friends & her 17-month-old daughter came with. Because of space, the Japanese go up & not out. Costco had a parking garage. So to get your cart to your car, they have a moving walkway. It's magnetic so it holds the carts in place while it sends you to your floor! Other different things - you can buy a whole octopus (as pictured), they offered raw salmon samples & wine samples but maple syrup is $30 (about 3000 yen)! One thing that's the same is the food court! It even offers a hot dog & soda combination, a slice of pizza or Caesar salad. It didn't have soft pretzels, but it did have plastic wrap by the napkins in case you didn't finish your snack & want to take it home (since it's in US proportions & the Japanese don't typically eat that much of one thing).
