Nori-ben

Nori-ben, my dinner tonight.
Nori-ben normally ranks the cheapest among all bentos and this one is not quite traditional, though still kind of cheap (460yen, though I remember it was 430 yen when I bought it last week...)

It reminds me the days when I was working part time in the factory. Everyday I had nori-ben for lunch but of coz, half price, half portion. It was the cheapest lunch I had in order to save money, while I was just earning 850 yen per hour. Till the day I ate too much nori-ben and puked, I swore I'd never eat this anymore.

In that factory, if you can't hold the big trash bag tight, no matter you are a BBA/MBA/CPA, you would be scold 'baka' for million times. There I learnt the meaninglessness of titles; and I learnt to respect other people's job. You never know if you can do as well as others unless you try with your own head and hands. People with titles aren't necessarily ranking high in this society, even though most of them think they are.
