Oh the "pangs."

For a substantial fee, would you consider sealing an order up in plastic, packing it in a box surrounded with dry-ice, and next day airing it to me?

Your depiction packs some gullet-womping oomph!

Pavlov's dogs had nothing on my salivary glands.

The Chinese buffets around here should be arrested for what they're trying to pass off as sushi!

You say, "Itadakimasu..." or "Let's eat" (loosely translated :-)).

Beautiful picture, although after living in Japan for almost eight years, I still can't tolerate anything from the sea. Good place for me to lose weight.

Thanks, Helen...
Okay...phonetically is that "ee-tah-dock-ee-mah-sue"?
I want to try to remember it!
Did you eat too much seafood in Japan?

I can't imagine eating too much seafood...landlocked as I am in Western NC. When we lived on Long Island we could have all the seafood we wanted! I'm still going through withdrawal!

Hi Isabel,

It's pronounced "ee-tah-dock-ee-mas" and people kind of say it in a high pitch, all syllables flat (with none stressed).

I don't touch seafood, fish or seaweed here. I hate almost all of it and am allergic so some, I think. Maybe it's just mental! But the Japanese have a hard time understanding how a person can live life without the benefits of seafood. However, word has gotten around about my "peculiarity," so luckily people adjust their menus for me (especially for official dinners), or at least make sure that there is something else I can eat.

Thanks, Ori. I love to photo them, just can't stand to eat them! But Okinawa has some truly fantastic-looking fish, so it's always fun to go to the fish market. Just would never buy anything!

Isabel,

In Japanese it is 'yummy' (pronounced Yah-Mee).
Lovely photo! But I tend to avoid a box type photo of food... Wait I will look in my archive to show you wat I mean...

But I love the colors.

You say it as u wud. There's no "L" in the word so it;s ok. Ask a Japanese to say "I love you". just for fun ppol...

Cheers!

Helen, gokigen ikaga desu ka.

If my memory is not failing me already, there was a really thorny tree you were interested in knowing about... it was from one of the challenges (the 'perspectives' one, I think...) It seems that the tree is from the family of the 'Euphorbiaceae' and in my country the common name is 'Javillo'. It is usually translated in English as the "Sandbox Tree", sci.name 'Hura crepitans'. By the way, keep clear of the tree if you have sensible skin (and not for the thorns!) its fluids might cause dermatitis if you are sensible enough!

Sayõnara.

The American troops in Okinawa at WW2 used to select the daily password with a lot of L's, like Lolobrigida, to tell easily Japanese comandos at night from their own buddies.

[ for the kids among us: Gina Lolobrigida was an Italian actor, and a sex symbol of her time ]
 
Small correction and important clarification:

In Japanese 'yummy' (pronounced Yah-Mee) is with the stress on Yah. In Korean the stress is on Mee.

That's not a word I have ever heard after living in Japan for eight years. We must speak a different variety of Japanese in both Okinawa and Tokyo ;-). What is it supposed to mean??

Konnichiwa Carlos,

Ohisashiburi desu nee! Chotto tsukarete imasu...

Thank you for the info on the tree. I remember that -- it was pretty bizarre. It didn't look like anything I would touch, although it sure did make for a nice picture!

...which is used in various manifestations of darkness. I assume that's not what you're referring to? Now I'm really curious!
