Sushi Heaven

Months ago I saw a Japanese comedy called 'Water Boys'. In one scene, the boys are working as cleaners at an aquarium. As they clean the glass of the tank, they fantasise about how all the different animals in the tank would make delicious sushi...

At the time I thought this was very funny. Then yesterday I went to Ikebukuro's aquarium with a Japanese friend. A lot of the tanks had Christmas decorations in them. We even saw Santa feeding the manta rays. This is one of the strangest things I have ever seen. And I live in Japan!



As I mentioned, I went with a Japanese friend, who kept commenting on the potential edibility of each display.
'Oh, looks delicious...'
'Not much meat on these ones...'
'Looks tough to eat...'

I thought this was pretty funny, until I overheard snippets of conversation from various Japanese people around us and realised that everyone around us was saying the same thing!!!
