First Experience!

I tried Shee-sya first time in my life. I've never EVER smoked (cigaritte) in my life, I just hate it!! I can't believe I tried it but I have to admit, it tasted soooo good. I had the apple-mint flavor. My friend told me that it is not as bad as the cigaritte because it goes through water which filters the nicotine, but is this really true?? Can someone tell me the truth with official information? Cause if it is true, I might wanna do it often. I went to the bar in Shibuya and my friend told me that there's not many places that you can smoke shee-sya in Tokyo. Only few places. It's quite surprising cause in Tokyo, there's everything, nothing that you cannot find in Tokyo.I heard there's lots in London and other europian countries, of course in Middle East, and also in South East Asia where the Western go and have party.

Anyway, just wanted to share my exciting experience!

Petit & Delicate Japanese Food

This dish really discribes the real traditional Japanese food. It's not just the volume and taste. First you enjoy the food with your eyes (see), then with your nose (smell), and at last with your mouth (taste). Small but various and colorful food, with the ingredients that you can feel the season. Delicate and simple taste by using most of what ingredients itself has. You can also enjoy by looking at the plates and how they are decorated.

This becomes like.... this.

Biz Trip to Hiroshima

I went to Hiroshima and it's been 13 years since the last visit. If you went to Japanese elementary school, you're more likely to visit Hiroshima on a field trip. Hiroshima and Nagazzaki are the cities where Atomic Bomb was bombed in 1945, only 2 place in the world. When we study history in school, we always visit the peace museum and this Dome below.

Too bad I couldn't see the city since I didn't have any free time, but would like to go there again and learn the history. I remember the museum was so realistic that it was too shocking for us young students.

Another famous thing in Hiroshima is hiroshima-yaki!! It's kinda like Okonomiyaki from Osaka, but with noodles inside and thinner crust. There was this building that has only hiroshima-yaki restaurants! I didn't know locals like this so much!
