After being back in the States for over a month, I now have a healthy appreciation for the blandness of some foods here.

You know, they’ve actually got those at Kroger here.

However, I never really noticed if the ones sold here are marketed with such flava. Being as immersed in flava as I am, it’s entirely possible I’ve simply been taking it for granted.

“Beanz? I could go for some beanz tonight. Or tomorrow wif my breffes or sumpin.”

I will check.

I think it was a regular tomato sauce, minus the cheese, and I can’t remember if they were 200 or 300 yen a can, but I remember it being in that price range.

And DH, I think you mean baked beanZ.

Comment on Writing the rirekisho by jturningpin

Thanks for the comment Alexander, and your question is a perfect example of why this rirekisho write-up needs an overhaul. Sorry I haven’t gotten around to it yet…

Please note that I’ve never done an internship myself, so unlike other aspects of the rirekisho write-up, I can’t say, ” I know this and stand by it because I’ve personally experienced it!” That being said, my guess would be something like “研修期間が終了したため、[outcome],” as in 帰国しました if you went back to your home country, 退社しました if you left the company and are still in Japan, and so on. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your helpful post. Just one question on the work history section: If I participated in an internship for several months, what choice of words should I use to describe my ‘termination’ or closure of the internship. 一身上の都合により doesn’t seem to work
