Roll cake and Mangos

Did you know that one of my favorite desserts is Roll Cake? Well, if you didn't, now you do. I don't eat dessert so often, and I hardly ever eat sweets or junk food, but roll cake really hits the spot. It is not too sweet, and there is something about the texture which I really like. When I am walking from the station to here, I always pass the "Doujima Roll" shop. There is almost always a very long line outside of the shop. On the weekends, maybe people wait in line over an hour at least to get one. That is unbelievable, and I am impatient, so I could never do it.

And, while on the topic of "unbelievable," did you hear this news:
Season's first sweet mangoes fetch ¥200,000

If the exchange rate is 100yen to 1$, then that means $2000 for mangos. Wow!! But unfortunately, I can not afford it.
