some food and game fun 2

Mooooooonster Party!!! In this game you play a boy that uses his bat to kill monsters such as fishhead, fried shrimp, and giant onion rings. Well, there are other more normal creatures such as pumpkin ghost, man-eating plant, and a dead crab.

PACKAGE: bottle drinks Asia

I really love Japanese bottle drink designs. Their appearances actually have an affect on my choice of drink. The 1st group: Mokku has a history of manufacturing unique character-themed beverages. 2nd: Nice tea beverage and the Bingo Bongo drink. 3rd: the popular ramune soda, the bottles are made of glass and sealed with a marble. To open, you push the marble into the bottle. how fun.

no more tuna for sushi / sashimi

The Atlantic Bluefin tuna is going extinct and in recent meeting of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) showed that a few nations had put commerce ahead of science and conservation. The populations of the tuna have dropped 97 percent since 1960, but the tasty fish remains in high demand in Japan, where sushi bars are willing to pay up to $100,000 or more per fish. A possible CITES ban on bluefin tuna had been at works, but Japan had already announced that it would not comply with such a ban if it were enacted. Unfortunately, the ban failed, and fishing will continue. Human will be known to eat a species to extinction... hope not.

O food rotting away

Don't watch this when you are about to eat... A short time lapse video of food rotting away on BBC Bang Goes The Theory, commentary by Dr. Yan,  "...maggots are attacking the fish... aaahhh is really coool."
