Sammich

I couldn’t eat the same Chinese food today.  I needed a break.  I asked a coworker where I could get a sandwich, and he said there was a little shop just a few blocks from here.  I had our receptionist call over there and I ordered two BLTs and some potato chips. 

I didn’t get exactly what I asked for.  I got two ham sandwiches with lettuce and tomato (something got lost in the translation) and a little pack of French fries.  It tasted pretty good, though.

Total cost, including delivery:  ¥63, which is $8.87.

Here’s the funny thing.  The name of the place is Tube Station.  If you’ve ever been to the UK you’ll know that “tube station” is how you say “subway station.” Thus the name of the joint is a blatant rip-off of Subway.
