    He-he, I also noticed that some Japanese people does not look on content, but on wrapping only. Once me and friend of mine came to local store to buy omyage for another person, and my friend was very fast on choosing a gift, and he started bugging me to make fast decision based on the size of package. :lol:

    BTW, I think that custom makes huge impact on ecology.

    And ... Kopi is mean, don't You think so? No treats for Kopi, at least for today!

    ewww...

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...
