Chuudoku means addiction, and since being in Japan I have had a range of different
chuudoku, always ending on a bad note. My first chuudoku in Japan was banana chips. I started out eating a handful as a snack and it gradually progressed into buying a bag almost every day. My banana chip
chuudoku finally finished after I got super sick one night after eating a whole bag and a half as my dinner.
My
chuudoku last year was TV show downloading, like Desperate housewives and Lost. Downlaoding all that crap TV led to my computer crashing (thank god for insurance!) and almost mental breakdown as I thought my thesis was a goner, too.
My latest
chuudoku is earl grey tea. The other day I was at a friend's home and she made me earl grey tea and it just tasted so good! The next day I went to the store and bought a huge box of the stuff, and am to the point where I will drink at least 5-6 cups a day (or more if I am at home all day.) Of course, the weather is also a factor since it is soooo cold in my apartment and the tea warms me right up! I always like a bit of skim milk, and sometimes when I feel like a treat I add a bit of baileys. Oh, and it goes so well with a few cookies or some M&Ms.
I am hoping the weather will get warmer soon before something bad happens with this
chuudoku - but really, what harm can tea do to you? Well anyways, I need to go now so I can make myslef another cup.
