School lunch is 268 Yen perday. The stuff is not very exciting. I've had hotdog, mini fried fish, pork cutlet with cheese, caramel potatoes(!) and other unidentifiable objects. All lunches come with a soup of random boiled vegetables.
I always finish the entire thing so I don't have to waste, but honestly, I wouldn't miss it if they never offer school lunches again.
Oddly enough, I find lunch time one of the most enjoyable times of the day. I sit with 2-5 school teachers/ staff at a given time at the lunch table and they talk to me. It's mostly in Japanese, but they attempt to teach me names of that day's food, ask me about America, and other things.
They call this time "Japanese showers" beause it's non-stop Japanese and apologize to me because I can't understand. What they don't know is that these so-called showers are actually the best motivation for me to learn Japanese. And because of that, I long for the next day when lunch rolls around.

I know this is lame, but I just had to add this! =)

Sandwich at the conbini: 230 Yen

Japanese Showers: Priceless
There are some things that money can't buy. For everything else, there's Mastercard.
