GREEN TEA

Imma warn you all right now, this post may have a slight over-usage of caps lock. Sometimes, my left pinky just spazzes out, ok?? Don't you judge me!

Anyway. Happy 4th of July, Americans! Happy July 4th to everyone else in the world too! To celebrate, let me give you this post on a totally Asian thing, okay? (O_O)-b. Okay!

Did you know, there was a time when I didn't like green tea all that much.
In fact, it was my *least* favorite herbal/Asian type of tea.

TRULY, HOW FOOLISH I WAS.

Since coming here, I've been trying ALL THE GREEN TEA THINGS. Everything is just... wonderful. *sniff* It brings tears to my eyes, how delicious it all is. And for the sole reason of making this post entirely dedicated to green tea things, I've been holding back on some pics from you all. I know, I know, it sounds cruel and unjust. But it was all for a greater good! So here, look at all the amazing green tea options you have in Japan.

Ikebukuro

So you remember some time ago when I said I went to Akihabara? Well, it's fine if you don't remember, but I did. For a quick recap, though, I mentioned that Akihabara was a place geared mostly to guy geeks in the anime department. Conversely, Ikebukuro is a somewhat similar area except geared mostly towards girls and girl geeks. But there are still some things that just everyone loves regardless.

Like arcades. (/OワO)/

Taiko game again! If only we had the shoulders of real taiko players...
