day 418 | vacation

[unbr8kable]

[There is more to Hachijo Island than just creepy hotels filled with fungus--though there are plenty of those.

But one doesn't need to visit one for impressive-looking black-sand beaches with tide pools and sea turtles frolicking nearby, or tall, green cliffs that fall off into the sea, or mountains to climb, or hot springs with views of the aforementioned cliffs and beaches or even overlooking a waterfall.

Nemesis comes ashore with satchel full, looking between the greenery and the water and the mountains rising nearby, and then over to Hurricane, grinning]

...Ready to relax?

It's supposed to be kinda gooey, though.

[unbr8kable]

...Mochi? Or cheese, maybe...

[crossmyheartandhope]

Cheese'd be bad end for sure.

[unbr8kable]

People love cheesecake. People love nuts. What's the problem?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure, but you don't use the gooey kinda cheese for cheesecake.

[unbr8kable]

Don't you?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ain't it one of those dessert cheeses? Like... whatsit, mascarpone or whatever?

[unbr8kable]

"Natural"?

"Torori"...?

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'gotta be like... real mild, though, don't it?

[unbr8kable]

It's cheese flavor. The flavor of cheese.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Okay, but different cheese has got different flavors.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Camembert, or natural. That's why they got different types of cake.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, I'm so making you a cheese sample platter.

There's like a billion kinds of cheese.

[unbr8kable]

A billion? That's so many... Howcome the store's only got like two?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Cause Japan ain't big into cheese. 'Least, not the kind of cheese that don't get made in Japan.

[unbr8kable]

Huh... Well, jury's out on if this foreign cheese is worth nothing or not, but I'm willing to hear your argument.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Some of it's real good.

You'll see, when we get back I'm totally gonna make us a cheese sampler.

[unbr8kable]

Didn't even know cheese could be sampled...

Wonder what other kinds of food is out there just. Unknown.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Bet there's a bunch of stuff we never tried.

Like... Malaysian food. Or Australian food.

[unbr8kable]

Australia has food?

Like. Kangaroo burgers?

[crossmyheartandhope]

They got that black stuff, don't they? Vege-whatever?

[unbr8kable]

Tables? Like--those weird radish things?

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's something you put on sandwiches, ain't it?

[unbr8kable]

Potato salad? And cabbage! That really dark kind.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I dunno if it's cabbage, unless it's ground up real small. It's some kinda paste, I think.

Maybe like. Mashed potato salad? With food coloring.
