My regular diet - Japan style and Nerdfighters

[aisilin_ryoko]

So being the rather nerdy girl that I am and completely in love with all things bad for me, I probably go for the more unhealthy things you can buy in Japan, which fortunately are still a hell of a lot healthier than most snacks you can buy in Australia, but here is a basic list of stuff I like and is worth trying if you ever come here.

corn flavoured milk is quite disturbing. . . . . . i wish i was in japan, actually i wish i was anywhere but here atm, i'm bit of a wreck after troy. but i'm getting over it. . . . wish you could come to my birthday party- i'm having a 'gay bash' for the theme. oh well.
do you come back early next yeat?

[aisilin_ryoko]

I have a feeling cows in Japan are fed corn, which might explain it. Are you ok? You said you were seeing someone a little while back so I thought you must have been alright. You can always come over and visit if you really want. And I'll be back in late April.

ill be alright, i was seeing troy for abotu two months, just long enough to fall in love, adn then it ended, i'm still coming to terms with so im a bit down. i would love to come, but i have no money. . . but maybe next year. that would be cool

other things i recommend:
Fran - occasionally better than pocky

Kitkat introduces new flavours with the coming seasons - this season's flavours are vanilla bean + Dark chocolate orange -
Dia recommends - melon (though theyve disappeared again), maccha latte, kiwi, and orange and brandy. Sakura is not very nice -it's cherry flavoured basically - momo is better ahhahahah

oh - the "和" sweets ice creams are lovely - err two flavours - azuki and maccha with azuki bean paste on top covered in soft wafer.. *giggles*

oh God i'm a sweets addict - this is what happens when a conbini's only 1 min walk away and donki's 10.. XD

I have seen Fran aorund - looks like its meant to be like a high class version of pockey.

And that would explain why there's so damn many kit kats all over the the place. I haven't tried even half of them. Kiwi was sorta weird, I liked the matcha one and dark chocolate orange sounds nice.

Ive seen the sort of ice creams you mean, but I think we're talking about two different types. Im not too much into the red bean myself. Azuki is that? I thought it had a different name.

Where abouts are you btw? I was considering visiting Osaka to check out the aquarium.

[ofu_reko]

awh man -- i LOVE LOVE LOVE azuki!

lol - i'm known as a funny flavored chocolate addict -so even if i dont go around looking for them - sometimes i get people giving be 10 packets worth of kit kats at a time.. lol -- well one person.. but yeah ^^;;

annnd I live in Osaka-shi - tennoji area. Pretty much smack bang in the middle of Osaka -- it's 15 minutes walk to Shinsaibashi Dotonbori (you know glico man, the crab thing and the donki ferris wheel) and 20 minutes by chikatetsu to umeda - lol !

[aisilin_ryoko]

Wow. Just tried Vanilla bean the other day and its REALLY good. Still yet to try Dark Orange. Havent seen any melon lavoured ones around. Maybe they're out of season now?

So if I do end up rocking up to Osaka, want to take a trip to the aquarium with me?

i had a dream about you last night.

[aisilin_ryoko]

You know, I only just sawthis comment now. For some reason it was never emailed to me. Oh well. Interesting dream. Would be nice to make it a reality.

OMG, you have to read Tsubasa, its so good. the first about 15/16 paperbacks are just stories but there are some really pretty stories in there, especially the ashura one. But after that it gets realyl cool, and dark. Sakura and shaoran get really cool, very different from the cardcaptor characters though. but awesoem none the less!

I was bored at home, so going through your journal, and i know why the milk in japan tastes like corn!
its not cows milk. they dont have the space to make proper cows milk in japan, and it doesnt keep long enough to import.... so they actually drink rice milk.... well thats how my friend explained it to me. weird huh
