Edamame, Japan’s Favorite Beer Appetizer
Posted on December 5th, 2008 @ 12:49 pm

The Japanese are pretty healthy eaters.. although many love their beers and some go home drunk .. almost every other day.  But it looks like this is the #1 appetizer for the Japanese.. but how can i blame them.. because even I loved them.. and I’m not a Japanese.

Edamame is healthy .. and is a green soy bean.  Pretty easy to prepare.. or if you like you can buy them cooked as well.  Boil some water… put edamame in for 3 or 4 mins.. and some salt.. and yer can serve it up.  Great way and easy way to serve as snacks or appetizer .. for your husband’s friends… coming over to watch football.

Gem Of Life Episode 31 & Miko-San
Posted on November 29th, 2008 @ 9:38 pm

I am waiting to watch Gem of Life Episode 31 and so is my japanese friend in Tokyo - Miko San.  I know that Miko San is staying up late every nite.. so that she can catch the latest episodes. And even though she wouldn’t admit it.. Miko San better get some acne treatments because of staying up late to watch the shows.. and not getting enough rest for the nite.  And yet.. Miko San wants to know when Gem of Life Episode 31 is coming out.. because she wants to see what happens next with Martin and Jessica. *slap forehead* !  Bad Miko-San..!

Sushi & Kawaii Japanese Girls
Posted on November 20th, 2008 @ 7:36 pm

Having lived in Japan for 6 months, the folks from home always asked if eating sushi . .makes the japanese girls slim and super cute..??  What a question eh..?? hhahha!!! yup.. but it’s true..  i get asked often enough. .especially during those earlier days .. when i first came home.

I don’t really know if sushi had anything to keep my Japanese friends kawaii.. but i found that living in Japan and eating so much sushi.. didn’t make me put on an ounce.  I guess the bottle of Leptovox that i had brought along just didn’t get used.

Japanese Homes
Posted on November 11th, 2008 @ 4:36 pm

Traditional Japanese homes in Takano River looked like that. In the cold winter months, it would really be nice to have a tankless water heater.  I remembered my host family having to take turns because they wouldn’t have so much hot water to go round the entire household and i feel extremely bad, because they always let me have a hot bath first.. since i am the guest.  I really wished i could send them one now .. since they had been so nice to me.. during my 6 months stay in Japan.

Kawaii Japanese Girls
Posted on October 29th, 2008 @ 11:44 pm

Japanese gals are really kawaii eh..?? yes.. i have friends like that.. so they really make me feel like a fat slob at times.  I sometimes wonder if they have mixed heritage.. since Japan was filled with American soldiers during the WWII.  For woman like myself.. with no mix heritage..i keep slim by reading up orovo detox reviews to find the right stuff to use to keep slim and beautiful.  Of course, i envy my kawaii friends.. who wouldn’t right.. ?? but they are not those unhealthy envy .. but moreso, the type.. where i try to better myself.

The Japanese Sure Loves Their Beans
Posted on October 7th, 2008 @ 3:18 pm

I was in Osaka for a vacation and you can be sure .. that the Japanese loves their beans.  You see many of these open stores.. everywhere in the neighbourhood.. and they are run by your regular mom and pop kind of set up.  They had barley, black beans, azuki beans and green beans as well .. and there is peanuts right .. at the left hand side.

Spa Hotels Or Onsen
Posted on September 27th, 2008 @ 7:50 pm

One of the many things i remembered while in Japan for work is the many weekends, we get invited by our co-workers for a weekend in an Onsen. The Shirahone Onsen is one that I remembered well because of its unique white looking water..  that comes from the high amount of caladium and magnesium.  Located in the higher up of the town about 2.5 hrs away from Tokyo by train, this Onsen is so unique with such a huge open space hot spring, they definitely have no need for spring plungers here.  For those who are not aware of this.. hot springs are known to be very good for health, therefore, the japanese flock to an Onsen whenever time permits.

Japanese Girls Are Kawaii
Posted on September 1st, 2008 @ 4:02 pm

Yes…amongst all my japanese girlfriends.. i never came across one that asked me about the best diet pill, i kid you not.  Unlike, the west.. whereby .. most kids and adults are obese, you are unlikely to find any here.  I guessed it must be the food they eat.. and what of course if you were obese in Japan.. you probably wouldn’t find very much clothings to wear… afterall, everyone is petite there.
