This is the original version... but the haze in Singapore became heavy today... (from fires in Indonesia) so I changed it to this:

I guess we need air-con anyway...

    I would describe japanese manner of dealing with stuff they can´t control like weather and climate as "resignation"...they just give up and accept what is thrown at them

    Like for instance...that Typhoon that hit Tokyo yesterday..that was a typhoon strong enough to make me stay home but theey were people out with their umbrellas doing the absurdity of fighting against the wind and watching how that umbrela got ripped from their hand...why go out?! "oh I must get to work"...whaaaaat?

      HAHAAHA Creepo! You are so right about people still outside during the typhoon and trying their luck with the umbrellas! In fact I was trapped in university once during typhoon because our professor DID NOT LET US off when it was still safe!!!

      He had to wait till it became DANGEROUS and then tell us to go back. As freshmen and gaijin newbies in Japan, we didn't know how bad it will be so when we went downstairs we found out that it was too late =_=;; And yes, that was the first time I experience typhoon. I fell sick the next day.

      I blogged about it here:

      and flu got worse and I became a TB suspect:

      and finally they decided I don't have TB:

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...
