Welcome party

This evening they prepared a welcome party for me. It was at the department, and it was dinner. For special occasions they eat sushi.

For Slovenians: Suši je verjetno najbolj znana japonska hrana. Suši so rezine surove ribe servirane na kepici riža, ali zavite v rolo iz riža in v ovitek iz alg. Zelo okusno.


Do you know what they mix spirits with? In Europe we do it with Coke or orange juice, here they do it with tea (hot or cold).

They were all surprised when I took a grape and ate it all. They always peel it and take out the seeds. I don't understand - and on the other hand they eat the fish with bones included.

And have you ever had a dinner next to a biochemistry lab? No problem if you forget to buy salt. You can easily get the whole bottle of pure NaCl on the table.

I vacationed in Sapporo a few months ago and wondered why the grapes tasted so odd with their tough skins. I never knew they peeled them! Interesting.
