Back to School Season 2015!

          Well, it's back to school season.

To be honest, I don't know how I feel about back to school. There's a lot of people who don't want to go back to school, and then there's the other people are so, so excited to return to school, and to see their friends again. For me, I used to be so excited to go back to school, but now... I don't know!

A part of me is like, yay, I can't wait to go back! But then the other part doesn't want to go back to school, because I get clingy to summer... I get clingy to my home, my "sleeping in", the relaxation, just, everything about summer! So it's, it's complicated -_-.

However, whatever my opinion is on the back to school spectrum, I will begin the back to school posts! Hurrah! I am really excited to start them. I have a lot of ideas for the back to school posts, so stay tuned!

So, I guess this is it for now. I hope you are as excited as I am for back to school season!!

Keep Smiling,

"Foreign Food" Challenge!

           Hello everyone!

Today's post will be a kind of post I don't think I've ever done before. Well, it's actually food reviews on food that is not from the country where I live. So, it's the foreign food challenge! I only have the drinks and sweets that we tried. We also tried savoury stuff like fish chips, "ramen" chips, dried fish, that kind of stuff.




This is the Milkis Drink! I did a separate post on this drink recently on this blog, if you want to check that out. This drink is from Korea, and it's basically a milk and flavoured yogurt carbonated drink. And it tastes SO good! I've always wanted to try this after I discovered that my Hapkido teacher also drinks this, and Milkis was the first thing on my list. This was a thumbs up!



This is a sour apple or grape (I honestly couldn't really tell haha), gummy candy. I think this candy is from Japan, just like all of the other candy in this post. I always like to try sour candy, like War Heads and Super Lemon. I took this randomly, and boy am I glad I grabbed ths! This is probably my new favourite candy! I love how like, chewy it is! There's a coat of sour powder around the gummy, so it's not sour the whole time you have it in your mouth. I also like the fact that the bag is resealable!! So I think you should definitely give this a try.



This is like laffy taffy, except it's a lot chewier. It's called milky, because it's milk flavoured. I kid you not, there were only like, three our four ingredients in this candy! And the one actual ingredient for the flavour is condensed milk! It was really good. A little too chewy in my taste, but still really good. What I like about this is that it's sweet, but not too sweet!


This is called something like, High Concentrated Milk Candy in the strawberry flavour. I saw this, and I thought it looked pretty interesting so I grabbed it. It was okay, not my favourite, but it still tasted good. It's not a gummy candy, it's a... "hard" candy? Is that what it's called? I think so. Anyways! It was good, but not "Oh my gosh it's so good!" good. It tasted like strawberries, but it tasted like, sour... yeah...


When I saw this, I immediately snatched it. Because, this is LEMON PEEL CANDY. Um, yes, I would like to try this!! This is also a resealable bag which is so awesome! The lemon peel itself tastes a lot better than I thought it was going to be. There's a coating of sugar on the peel, so when you start chewing on it, you also chew on the sugar. It's sweet and lemon sour, which tastes good in my taste. I mean, it's still not really good like the sour green apple gummies, but it's still good.


The last thing we tried is another drink! It's a Ramune drink from Japan! What's interesting about this bottle is that you need to like, "release" the marble that is stuck on top of the bottle. I know it sounds weird, but you need to try it out for yourself to understand what I'm talking about! The drink is carbonated, and it's like regular soda. Cream soda, I think. It tastes good, and it's cool to drink from the bottle too! But my favourite fizzy drink is still Milkis, hihi.

So these were the foreign food I tried! You should try picking your own foreign food and do your own challenge. And if you want, try these treats out. They actually taste pretty good! I guess this is it for now, folks. See you later!
