This post has nothing to do with Japan, except that I have the tendency to fall sick during long Japanese holidays like year end and golden week. So with weak Japanese medicine not working, and even with kiwis and lemon honey drink all failing, I resorted to my friend's advice: coke and ginger . It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste...
You know what I miss here in Japan?
ReplyDeleteThat it doesn't cool down at night at all.
In my home country, Germany, it does cool down quite a bit at night even if it was really hot during the daytime. That's great, because all you have to do is open your window for a while before going to bed in order to cool down your bedroom! ^-^;;
YES! I can't stand it and had to turn on the air-con in the evening and then turn it off before I sleep. I would use the fan while sleeping to save electricity bill -_-;;
