Sometimes Pepsi in Japan brings out new, strange flavours such as cucumber, or shiso (a kind of herb leaf used in some Japanese dishes). Now you can buy `Salty Watermelon` flavour Pepsi!

Actually, it`s not so salty. If you can imagine raspberry soda mixed with soda water or tonic water, I think it tastes like that.

Although `salty watermelon` sounds very strange to non-Japanese people, it`s not so strange if you know that in Japan people sometimes sprinkle salt on watermelon when they eat it. In Australia nobody I know does this.

White Day

If you`re not Japanese, you probably don`t know about `White Day`. In Japan, girls often give chocolate to guys on Valentine`s Day, then guys can give chocolate or cookies/biscuits to girls on March 14, White Day.

I made these biscuits for my workmates. They`re called ANZAC biscuits. I`ll post the recipe soon.

English Challenge

I recently had lunch at Kirio Shopping Centre food court. I was interested by the English instructions on the paper around my dish. Three verb styles were used:

1. Mix well to cook!
2. Mixing it evenly.
3. To mix it well `till lean meat is cooked.

Which style is correct for instructions in English: 1. Mix? 2. Mixing? 3. To mix? Do you know?

UPDATE: The answer is 1. Mix...
