Food and Drink

A sugary smile

Valentines Day is just around the corner, and in Japan it’s customary for women to give men chocolate on the 14th. But there’s chocolate, and then there is chocolate. Check out the tasty Mona Lisa below that’s on display at Tokyo’s Salon du chocolat. 13kg of chocolate went into painting this.

Go ahead and call me unromantic, and perhaps a little bit cynical, but isn’t this somewhat excessive? There again, look at this chocolate copy of Brussels’s Grand Platz.

Now that’s excessive!

The day after Christmas

The food was great.

The company even better.

And the booze went down a treat.

But today

It would seem

A debt has to be repaid.

And

With it being the festive

Season

My headache is quite appropriately

Of biblical

Proportions.
