Speaking of Japanese Food
April 10th, 2007
A peace-loving Japanese says boycott war, patronize “I Love Sushi”. Hoooboy, this line can be so loaded with meaning.
Dev’s last entry on okonomiyake reminded me of these photos I took a while back documenting a project in Cotabato. The hotel we were staying at had this little Japanese restaurant with not just really good and inexpensive sashimi, but rather innocently humorous signages.
Photos taken by Marielle Nadal at the El Manuel Hotel in Cotabato (um, I forget exactly where the hotel is in Cotabato) in 2005.

Dev, I would think they would be referring to the second world war. At the hotel, there was this Japanese garden, which had an odd fixture of a bomb-like er, thing. I think I took photos of that too…if only I can dig them up…

Hey Melai, thanks for dropping by. Yes! Tuna sashimi was inexpensive then (2005) and there (Cotabato). Hehe, good thing I was on official business. Not only was the trip free, the project we documented was really cool. You can see tidbits of it here: http://www.nokia.com.ph/nokia/0,,68815,00.html
