Photo Dumplings

Hello everyone. Got a few photos to share with a minimal amount of text. Ready? Here we go!

Last Sunday some friends and I drove out to Hase (up in the mountains) to see how the leaves have begun to change color. It's something we can enjoy in autumn, you know. The mountains in Nagano are incredibly lush, as you can see.

I'm pretty sure green tea doesn't have any caffeine, but I'm not sure. That firefly hat is awesome!

Awesome hat! The strips look super-cool. I can't wait to see the butt-light!

As for green tea, it has less caffeine than coffee, but more than black tea. However, because the fermentation process causes all sorts of crazy interactions (scientific processes = "all sorts of crazy interactions",) green tea is far gentler than black tea in delivering its awesome caffeinated power. Since it is less fermented, it also has more anti-oxidants than black tea, which people attribute to all sorts of health benefits.

Cute costume! But...the fireflies die within a week? Is that what Grave of the Fireflies was about? Or am I totally wrong?

we're totally watching Grave of The Fireflies together, since clearly you have not seen it either.

No no. "Grave of the Fireflies" was worse. Faaaaarrrrrr worse.
