      It's strange they have so much emotions in manga, anime and drama, but in real life is very composed... In the end, even one of my Japanese professors couldn't stand me and told me to be less childish and don't act like a comic character...

      Ha, it depends on amount of consumed alcohol. More alcohol - more emotions.

      Well I asume that in anime and manga they are all emotions is because of just that, because they usually don't express them and is very human to do so, that they repress those feelings and a way to just pour them out in there, in animes. Is like the guys who play D&D, they do all the things they wish they could do in real life, because after all, is a carácter, not them.

Boiled coke and ginger lemon for cough

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...
