A new bento box arrived today, I'd ordered it from Ebay and the price was much cheaper than other boxes I had seen, Its a cute Hello Kitty one - by now you should be spotting the theme....
Only one problem - its flaming tiny!! Not just child size but midget size! its about the size of a slice of bread!
Luckily I had ordered it to keep snacks in such as carrot sticks and hummus or fruit so it actually works out ok. Last week I bought a hello Kitty handbag and makeup bag when they came the make up bag was huge! I can comfortably fit an A4 pad in it, I don't own enough make up to fill it! The handbag however is very small! big enough for the essentials but not much else, I wouldn't bother but I bought it because it was a shopper style!
So from this we can summarize that Japanese women don't eat very much, have large amounts of make up but don't carry any of it around with them....
If you have an "Instores" (like poundstretcher) near you, have a look. Ours has Hello Kitty or Winnie the Pooh lunchboxes and flasks.
