あのお。。。なんですか!


 えいと。。。きせいちゅう。

Ever since we talked about pinworms in middle school health class, I have been fascinated with parasites.  I like the noodle-looking ones the best which is a shame because after watching so many youtube videos it makes eating noodles a bit mentally and physically challenging. The first thing I told my sister to do when she got to Tokyo was check out the Meguro Parasitological Museum. I think it's the only public parasite museum in the world.  I wonder if more Japanese people have parasites on the brain (figuratively and literally?--haha) than Americans considering an average person's intake of raw fish, and the fact that those udon noodles do look a lot like cestodes. Anyway, my sister liked the museum, and if you want to go, here is some helpful information.

いくらですか。¥0!
