I have had poccys this week, if I am thinking of the right things, Stephen got me a huge hamper of food from jbox! So many different things I got some poccys which are bread sticks dipped in chocolate, but there are other flavours. some of the food is crazy! I had candy floss this morning that turns into chewing gum! lol

Thanks for all the answers! You guys rock.

As for Pocky's...I've actually seen them before, but never tried that particular brand. I have had Yan-Yan's though, and love them! See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_Yan_(snack)

I'm definitely going to have to go raid the Asian markets around here now. There's also a lot of websites you can order Asian food from. Just search "Asian food" or "Asian candy" on Google, and it pulls up a lot.

As for a bento box...I'm definitely going to get one. Didn't think to add it to my Christmas wish list in time, but I did get a bit of money for Christmas, and I know what I'm buying! lol.

Anyway...thanks again for the info.

You should tell us what's in your Bento Oppisites-girl. I can make out the cheese, pepperoni, and crackers.

It's cute.

I really want one now =( I found a good website where they do simple but cheap bento boxes. Will go look round town first (I'm thinking Robert Dyas?) but if not I'll order this little pink plastic box, an insulated bag and some pretty soy sauce bottles

That's pretty cool although won't it cost a bit to ship to England? I should probably look..

Hmm well I'm considering buying this one from JapanCentre
http://www.japancentre.com/?cmd=itm&cid=522&id=2151
It's not the most exciting thing ever but it's cheap and looks handy. Until then I can use my Hello Kitty lunchbox.

Tomorrow I'm gonna go to the Oriental supermarket in town to get some nice things. I almost wish it was more commerical, in a way, cause it doesn't sell bento boxes or moulds or anything, it's just food and rolling mats and things, but I'll go and get some nice ingredients. I need to try and lose weight and I think this'll be a good way - when I buy my lunch at college, I tend to buy like a cheese panini which isn't healthy anyway, then fill up on chocolate and flapjacks. Whereas Oriental food fills me up nicely and just looks SO cool to eat. And *hopefully* I'll save some money!

I like bunnybento.co.uk cause it's the "Lazy girl's guide to Bento" and gives you tips on how to make it out of leftovers =)
