Comment Round-up I

What the heck is a toilet hood?

The toilet hood covers the toilet lid, obv.

How's the food?

Delicious... every single thing I've had so far has been better than all the other things combined.

What the heck is a tatami?

Traditional Japanese flooring (click)

How is sleeping on the floor?

Surprisingly comfortable!

How's the all-you-can-eat sushi?

That doesn't seem to exist here unless you swoop into a restaurant garbed in ninja gear and steal from all the paying customers (after which, of course, they will all thank you profusely and apologize for not having provided more).

How much longer will Big O be there?

A year or so.

Is the brand of potty a Toto?

Yes! Aunty Em would be proud.

Octopus does have something in common with spiders, don't you think?

Sadly, yes, and spiders are in abundance here. One lived above my mailbox for a good (?!) week and a half until it "mysteriously" disappeared.

"Cool" wa nihongo de nan to imasu ka?

Sugoi desu ne. Literally a Japanese idiom for "too much" but it's used for cool, wow, super, etc.

For your next round-up:

What Japanese word do you find yourself saying most often?

ooh, good Qs from Missy and Alex ...

You wrote one of the funniest/most profound lines I've ever read: "every single thing I've had so far has been better than all the other things combined." It sounds like an M.C. Escher drawing put into words.

"every single thing I've had so far has been better than all the other things combined." M.C. Escher indeed. Sounds like you're just a few steps from food nirvana.
