Where do I want to visit? May be the correct question is, where do
I want to stay? Just kidding. Actually I do want to stay for several months in
some certain countries while learning their cultures and language. If I have to
choose one, I'd rather choose Japan. Why Japan?
I had been living
in Japan for 4 years since I was two. So at least I have a glance of depiction
about the country. I lived in a small city named Toyohashi. This city has been
told by Mrs.Wiwin in the class before, so I had my own excitement writing on this
blog.
I had my
kindergarten period in Japan. It's a fun journey even though I'm the only
Indonesian and moslem in my school. Sometimes I had a hard time during school
because of friends, but it wasn't really a big deal.
Why had I lived in
Japan? I followed my parents because they were having a doctoral student in
Toyohashi University of Technology. We had an Indonesian student association
there named PPI (Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia). I had best friends there! Most
of their ages were above me. Now they live in different cities in Indonesia.
If I had a chance
to visit that country again, I'd love to go to Toyohashi once more. Why?
Because I want to recall the memories. No. Not recall.
It's better to make new memories rather than remind the old
ones.
Lol I've got an
quote.
Actually I do want
to feel the air of Japan. The cool, cold, mild, and sweet air that refresh your
mind. I also want to experience the four seasons. The cool air in spring,
warmth in summer, refreshing time in fall, and crystal clear snowballs in
winter.
Oh, and food! You
should know that I'm kind of food lover. But unfortunately I could be gaining
weight easily, so I must limit my willing of eating. Go back to topic.
About food in
Japan, I recommend you some.
First, takoyaki. For the one who doesn't know anything
about takoyaki, you're outdated. Indonesian takoyaki and original takoyaki
which means Japanese takoyaki are much different. Number one is the tako
(octopus) itself. Japanese style's size is much bigger. Here, our takoyaki is
kinda stingy. We got only a
little piece of octopus's leg. How dare:( Number two is the flour. You can
understand the differences when you taste both and start comparing those.
Number three is the amount of sauce and other addition. The last, is the size
of the takoyaki itself.
Second is its friend, okonomiyaki. Excuse me but in
Indonesia, okonomiyaki is almost similar with vegetable fried, or just say
'bala-bala'. For Japanese, once again you can understand the differences when
you taste both and start comparing those.
Third is kakigori.
I'm freaking missing that dessert! It's an obligation dessert for summer. It's
so easy to make, and we have many in our country as we said 'es serut'. I would
like to show you the images. Hope you postponed your diet program haha.
Well actually
there are so many things to tell but I'm sorry that I'm running out of words.
Lastly, thank you for your time reading my imperfect story. See you soon on the
next post!
