Is summer time and is watermelon time in Japan. Fruits in Japan are so expensive, an average size watermelon here cost about Y2,000 (S$30). $30 you can get a lorry of watermelonssss ... err maybe in Malaysia ... ok is still exaggerating a little, just to let you feel watermelons are dammm expensive here.
Watermelon that you can easily hold on your palm (this is Mummy's smaller palm not Daddy's). This is not your average size watermelon, is a tiny watermelon. Well, since the size is tiny the price is also a little tiny too ... but still it cost about Y500 ($8). Oh you can buy 2 huge watermelons in Singapore with size add up to be 10 times bigger than this tiny little one here. Again just to show how expensive it is !
But watermelon in Singapore is like eating a box of chocolate, you never know what you get. You can pay cheap for a huge watermelon but sometimes turn out bad. Japan is the quality country, you always know what you get, they even state the sweetness of the fruit. A tiny juicy watermelon with skin that is like 3mm thick only, while the ones in Singapore are like 3cm thick.
Saw this humongous watermelon at the supermaket, which is bigger than ME. Those in the background are the normal big watermelon, so this is like 6 times the size of regular ones. No price stated. Ok so much for watermelons ... boring right ? haha...
