My disappointment for today


While picking up some sushi at the grocery store for dinner, I grabbed ANAGO (saltwater eel) instead of UNAGI (freshwater eel).

The texture and taste of the Anago is similar but unique from Unagi.

Also, I don't like it very much.

Live and learn...to stop five seconds and make myself read the Japanese words on the package next time.

On the brighter side, my negitoromaki (Fatty tuna and green onion roll) is fabulous.

I admit I don't really like eel of any kind...
As for Mt Fuji, it was pretty tiring, but I think, if you can take it at your own pace, the physical exertion isn't as bad as the cold. And the cold wouldn't have been bad if I'd been able to put warm clothes on. -_- I'm sure it would be quite a cool experience if you could see the stars, and the night view, and the sunrise. Hahah...

Yuck. That's alright, I used to get pre-packaged breaded chicken and pop it in the microwave and eat it on the top of rice all the time. Well once I really didn't read the package and got kaki... not persimmons but oysters. Nastiest thing I've ever tasted aside from Omurice (seriously, ketchup and peas?). After that lunch I told Drew I was going to go make my self vomit just to get the nastiness out of my system.
