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...
Hahaha well love the expression with the bear...but I kind of think that it depends...I once saw this huge line for the bank and some dude just walked in and ignore the line and I Heard some guys talking between them "Well its good to to be the best friend of the CEO"..don't know if that was true...still. On the other hand I was in the security line at the airport and in my line was this guy who used to make documentaries...forgot the name now, still was a renown guy in the US and still he had to make the line just like all the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteHaha well this context is not just for queue but also in law. For example in US, everybody has to follow the same set of law, no exceptions. But in Singapore, our policies are dictated by one family who could draft anything to their benefit... Anyway I better not say too much political stuff, I might get sued or locked up :/
