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...

ReplyDeleteThere is a special section in 0101 for fat ladies.
DeleteBut well... normal Japanese brands don't seem to carry XL...
He-he, slimming down is not a good idea. You better think about revenge! Look, these clothes companies are getting data about clothes to produce from statistical reports about size of average japanese men. If there could be a way to fake theese reports, all japanese population will stuck inside giant pants and shirts ... :lol:
ReplyDeleteBTW, You should go to states to get appropriate clothes then ... ewww ...
Haha I will just head back home in Singapore to get the american brands :P
DeleteSomehow the selection here from American brands are tailored for Japanese taste.
Isit me or the last time I went to Japan, it's very troublesome to try clothes. Have to take out shoes. Put on a bib. etcetc
ReplyDeleteLOL, it's true!
DeleteJapanese women always put on make-up, so they always prepare masks if you're trying the tops!
