I actually think this isn't a bad idea in the very beginning, and then form there, they can determine what kind of Japanese foods you might like. But I sincerely doubt someone is gonna get pizza every night. Not only is that lame, but it's unhealthy, and EXPENSIVE. Japanese Dominos pizza with pepperoni will cost you about $20.

I got more responses over the fact that I was a new poster than to my thread! I have have a negative overtone? Then you use profanity to describe my tone? Well thanks for getting over your preoccupation of the number of my posts and actually giving an intelligent response to my questions. The stereotypes we have of each other between us Japanese and Americans can be humorous at times as we learn about each other's culture. I'll try to lighten up my tone for my next post.
