sechan19 | Gummi Cherries Update.

My good friend, B., whose google-fu is not to be trifled with, was able to search out a Japanese company that imports and sells gummi cherries on their website. They also have a number of shops in Japan - one of which just happens to be in Minato Mirai where the Center is. In fact, the shop is located at At 1st! in Queen's Square, the department store complex I walk through everyday on my way to school. Clearly, God wants me to have gummi cherries. Heh.

I'm going to stop in there on Monday and see what the situation is - whether this outlet actually carries the cherries, how much they cost (online it's about $12 for a little over half-a-pound, which is kind of expensive when you consider that you can get five pounds in the US for $15, but they may have walk-in discounts or something), and so on.

At any rate, unless it's vastly cheaper to buy them overseas and import than it is to buy them here, there's no reason for anyone to scramble around trying to get them for me. Of course, if they do find their way into care packages, I'd still be appreciative, but there's no longer any urgency at this point. (If there ever was. ;>)

Thanks again, B.

Yeah, I'm talking about you, son.
