Thank you! I doubt I would be able to even make a reservation in Japanese. I'm not very good with keigo, therefore cannot really understand their speech so well. Sometimes I just wish Japanese is as simple and plain as English. 今から頑張ります！

ノマさんありがとう。全然「うざ」くありません。私は日本人じゃないし、日本語そんなにうまくないし、このひとい間違いを許して下さい。先生がこのブログを目てくれたけど、どうして間違いを教えてくらなかったのかな。。。

そして、書いてある「かず」と「へばい」はノマさんのご提案と同じで、合ってるんじゃないでしょうか？

じゃ、いまから修正します。

Thank you. I tried it once already, and I wouldn't do it again. It's a one-in-a-lifetime thing, literally.

Thank you Meira! We could try making it better next time when we're at school. I've tried it twice now and I think the third time will be even better!

Sawasdee ka nong Boom. I remember you ka. You have no idea how excited I am to see your comment on my website. Thank you for visiting ja.

Hello John. Thank you for visiting my website :)

I have some questions for you first, though. What soup and Thai pancakes are you talking about? To be honest with you, I'm not familiar with English names for Thai food, so if you could supply me with their Thai names, I might be able to explain to you what it is—and the fact that there are various types of food in Thailand I found your comment very interesting. I've never heard someone saying Thai food lacks variety at all.

I would disagree with you on the variety of sauces and condiments in Thailand though. Of course, we use ketchup and chili sauce a lot as multipurpose seasoning. But there are more to Thai food than that. We have special cocktail sauce for seafood, sauce for chicken-rice dish, sauce for spring rolls, sauce for Thai fish cake. A lot of times, famous restaurants pride themselves on the ability to make gourmet sauce for their food. I think this is the strength of Thai food that keeps it flavorful and interesting.

At McDonald's, what you see is not American ketchup and Thai ketchup, but I would say that it's more like American ketchup and Thai chili sauce. That's what I miss the most about McDonald's I think. I cannot go to McDonald's in the U.S. and ask for a pouch of chili sauce for my french fries, too. It's Thailand you're living it. We need spice in our life :P

I'm glad you found the rock gardens calming. Actually, I've been to the real one in Japan and am thinking about uploading pictures up on here. Come back and check out more if you like!

That's really interesting you brought that point up. I'm sure she probably didn't actually put flavors together and created that strange flavor, but rather suggested it to the Lay's people. So, Lay's credited her for that and might as well use it as a marketing tool, right?

Yes. I've been very hesitant to use the words I learned with my host dad. I know potchari is ok because it's just a regular word describing a chubby person. Words listed here are mostly safe, except a word like uzzai. You'll be surprised how Japanese people react to you using slang words. They love it!

Would you explain what is the C.C.Lemon taste you love? Since writing this post, I have moved on to a lot of other lemonade drinks and I've found them to be pretty good, too. Of course, I'm not pretty big on tasting; it takes me ten years to realize the difference between Pepsi and Coca Cola. So I can't really say how different they taste, unless I drink them all at the same time.

About the Zero, yes, it's pretty good. Not as sugary is always good, isn't it? I'd prefer the zero than the original one.
