I learned something new today — there is a Green Tea flavor of Pocky!

You Are Green Tea Pocky

Your attitude: natural and zen Peaceful yet full of life. Deep and thoughtful. You’re halfway to tantric bliss!

I read about this on Iris’ Sting My Heart blog — her son is preparing to go live in Japan, so she’s interested in Japanese culture. She is Strawberry Pocky. What flavor are you?

I’m surprised I wasn’t chocolate — because actually that’s my favorite flavor of Pocky. My mom sometimes goes to a Japanese store in Atlanta and buys some of my favorite Japanese snacks — like those adorable Koala Bear cookies that are delicious!

When I taught English in Japan, my little elementary-aged students knew that I loved Pocky, and they’d buy some for me. The strawberry kind is good too. I miss Japanese snacks — especially the “fast food” I’d eat before I taught a lesson. I’d jump off my bike, dash into a little shop, and buy some nori (seaweed) wrapped around rice and tuna. I’d eat that along with an iced green tea or a “Georgia Coffee” and be good to go for a few more hours.

Thanks, Iris, for bringing back those fun memories.

Tomorrow is the 5-year-anniversary of 9-11. There are several blogger projects going on to help us remember, such as Project 2,996.
