Japanese Food

By

Way back in '07, I traveled to Nagoya, Japan for my employer.  I was fortunate enough to live there for six months and participate in all facets of the culture.  I developed quite a taste for Japanese food as well and ate it whenever I could.  Not only was it delicious but it was also very healthy.  Many medical problems in American would be eliminated if we followed a similar diet.

The picture shows the food we were served at a traditional restaurant in Kyoto.  Tomorrow, I'll post some pictures of the temples I saw there and the surrounding area.  Another great memory in my life:)

    Have you ever had sushi? I've never tasted it and...do not feel a strong urge to :)

    I used to eat it every day when I was living in Japan. It's very healthy for you and delicious especially when dipped in soy sauce!

    As you would imagine, a mixture of vegetables, rice, and seaweed. Kind of salty but good.

    Thanks for describing me the sushi taste...the thought of eating raw fish disgusted me...well, I'll taste it someday, maybe :) I don't like the smell of the raw fish...Does sushi smell like raw fish? I don't think so after reading your description. I'll try someday...it's just a matter of bravery in my case :))))

    I think the raw fish is included in "sashimi" rather than sushi. I didn't want to try it either but it is so delicious.

These pictures were snapped in November, 2007 in Djibouti (East Africa).  More specifically, they were taken in and near Arta, a small town on the coast.  The first picture shows me posing on a hillside and the next one shows my coworker, Sa'ad.  The final one shows me being attacked by some fierce beasts but, don't worry!  I survived.
