Last year when I visited for the first time in 16 years, I had a list of things I wanted to eat. I think I ate most of them quickly. There was saba (mackerel), croquettes, tako-yaki (octopus dumplings), and most likely other things I can&#8217;t remember right now. I had most of the list finished on my first day with my pseudo-aunt and pseudo-uncle (for those who don&#8217;t remember, they&#8217;re my mom&#8217;s older sister&#8217;s in-laws, so not really related to me). This year I figured I should get a Big Man burger from Sasebo Burger, since I was eyeing it every time I went by last year.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/bigman1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/bigman1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"bigman1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2132\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>This is a triple burger, whatever that is, but it has ham and egg and probably something else.

A nice Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 to replace my DMC-FX9, whatever the difference might be.
