Hello From Japan - Konnichi Wa

Hello to all at Murchison Area School. As you know I'm currently in Japan to brush up my Japanese, eat some curry rice and catch up on the latest Manga (Japanese comics). I will write a small post for you all to read and show you some interesting things that are happening in Japan. 

Firstly I'd like to share with you a strange, but true story from Korea. My friend Mr. Tanaka went on a trip to Korea, which is only about a 1 hour flight from Japan. Very close indeed.( Have  look in the Atlas or online). While he was there he bought some famous aged garlic. It is so old that it turns black and is meant to be very healthy. "That's not so strange I hear you say!" 

The weird thing is that if you eat more than two pieces you will get a bleeding nose. That's right. I wonder what makes this garlic give you a bleeding nose? Anyway I have tried it, but I'm too scared to eat more than two pieces. I wonder if any of you want to try more than two?

 The famous Korean black garlic.
