Random stuff in Japan!

三蛇酒：”Three snake liquor”.

Chris ordered a glass of this stuff at a restaurant in Kobe’s Chinatown. There are three quite poisonous snakes in there, and drinking it is supposed to make men vigorous. Well, Chris couldn’t drink more than a few sips of it, so Erumi finished it for him. At first she felt pretty great (vigorous?), but then the poison seemed to kick in, and she got really hot and felt sick. Erumi does not recommend three snake liquor :(

Eating yakiniku (grilled meat) at the Korean town with my parents. We had tongue, stomach, beef, kim chi, and more.

Chris and I began learning the sanshin (a type of stringed instrument) this summer. Getting together at our sanshin teacher’s house after Sunday practice

Note: Chanpongo means something like "mixed-up language" in Japanese. You'll find both English and Japanese posts here, as well as a mix of the two, according to the whims of the authors. If you can only read one of these languages, that's OK; we're not saying anything bad about you. We promise. And if you can't read either language, you can always enjoy the pictures.
