It doesn't look like Mika to me :shrug

yeah...i think it's not Mika

I don't think it's Mika. Because the caption said, is "With Ai-chan". Don't know which Ai-chan :shrug

yeah who's ai-chan? Oo

regardless, both of them are flawless. :D

No, not turtle blood again...

it makes me feel weird everytime:shakehead

turtle blood?! is it healthy? omg I wonder how does it tastes x.x

I imagine it tastes like... blood.

... Which is not very pleasant imo.

it's very different from human blood though, I tasted once without knowing it and it's only after that my friend told me what it was lol... not bad at all, but gosh I just can't drink that without seeing the image of a poor little cutie turtle ;____;

it is said to be a very healthy drink though..

turtle blood? x.x

Didn't she drink turtle blood last year at this same time of the year ?

Apparently it's very good for your health... or something. XD

iirc, most kind of animal blood you can drink is healthy. turtle blood is a delicacy in Japan. :O

its probably healthier than eating cockroaches or worms like they do in other cultures... doesn't mean it doesn't make me squirm... :shakehead

hmm I'll def try it next time in Japan :P

When I see people eating and drinking turtle blood or other things I'm glad I'm a vegetarian. XD I mean, when you are visiting someone and he or she offers you something to eat and you refuse to eat it, because you think it's icky from your cultural point of view, it would be impolite. For example, I was in France with my school some years ago. And in the region we visited it was tradition to eat a soup like people in the 16th century ate when their town was sieged. Everybody had to eat it, and it smelled and looked VERY icky. I was the only one who hadn't to eat it, 'cos I never eat meat. xD

Sorry for double post, but I thought it might be interesting:
I looked it up and found an article (only in German) which says that it's a trend in Japan to eat/drink turtels/turtleblood, because it contains a high amount of collagen - so it's a new anti-aging method. But scientists are sceptical, 'cos there is no proof that collagen you eat or drink has an effect on your skin.

Turtle blood again? Didn't she drink that last year, too? :)

And she looks beautiful without make-up too. I love to watch her pics where there's no photoshop or anything. She's beautiful without any of those imo :)

The turtle blood thing is really.... disgusting.

it's just blood. also when people eat animal brains and any other unusual stuff - not meat- it just makes me cringe, because, ewww :thud


is it the same as eating shark meat?
