Coffee Making
Ok, so, here i was, pretty proud of myself, during my time in japan, one of my acquired skills was learning how to make coffee...i kid you not, before i went to japan i didn't know how to make coffee...who needs to know how when there are always coffee shops nearby. So, i learnt how to use a filtery thing, a bodum, an electric coffee maker (the normal kind, not sure what to call it) and of course which ones to buy from vending machines. I thought i had the coffee thing figured out. Anyhow, sleeping over at a friends house (thanks Jen-Mai!) and making coffee this morning, she had this kind of bodum, but not the normal kind, i think it was like maybe a camping version. There was a cup at the bottom, a filtery thing that goes on top and a cup thing with holes that goes into the filter...so, i put coffee in the filter, boil some water, pour some water into the filter and figure it should work. I couldn't figure out what the cup thing with the holes was meant to do, so i just decided i didn't need it...bad idea! So, the water went through the filter in about 3 seconds and i got wattery coffee all over the kitchen...oops...maybe i dont really know how to make coffee afterall...
