Lately we've had increasing numbers of non-Japanese students enrolling for test preparation. One interesting fact that keeps coming up is that many of these people are second-generation Kaplan students! The parents reached their educational goals with the Kaplan method, so they are now recommending it strongly to their children. It's nice to know that we're helping so many people succeed in life!

I like Japan. I have lived here for a long time. I like Japanese people, I like living in Japan. I like Japanese festivals. I like Japanese food. I like my Japanese friends. My wife is Japanese, and I like her.


But.

But.

There is something wrong with Japan, something terrible. I will tell you what it is.

No Milkshakes! That's right, no milkshakes.

You can go to some places and buy a "milkshake" but it is really just what we call a thickshake. Now, a thickshake isn't bad but when you try a milkshake, you will understand why I think this country needs milkshakes. A good milkshake has ice cream, syrup of the flavour you want to make the milkshake, and of course milk. My favourite flavour is vanilla, no maybe strawberry, no...no...vanilla. Actually, let me give you a milkshake tip from someone who loves milkshakes too much. Many places in Australia do not make a good strawberry milkshake. I don't know why, I guess some strawberry syrups are not as good as others. A good strawberry milkshake is really good, but you take a little risk when you order one, because it might be made with a less-than-delicious syrup. A vanilla milkshake, on the other hand seems to be much easier to make.

Perhaps there is less variation in Vanilla milkshake syrup varieties than there is with strawberry milkshake syrup varieties. Therefore, choosing the vanilla milkshake is a safer option. You have got to think about these things when ordering your milkshake. There are other flavours of course. As well as the Eddie's-hall-of-fame flavours of Vanilla and strawberry, we have chocolate, caramel, banana and another one I think only found in Australia called Blue Heaven. It is blue. I do not recommend this one. It isn't bad, but why settle for a mediocre milkshake if you don't have to? Banana is another one I would not recommend. It could be good, but usually it is not so great - very artificial tasting. (they are probably all articifial, but some taste better than others).

Chocolate is a classic flavour - not bad, not bad. I prefer Caramel to chocolate however. A good milkshake should be very cold and frothy. What does "frothy" mean? It means the liquid has plenty of bubbles in it. For some reason, drinking a milkshake with bubbles tastes better than drinking just flavoured milk (flavoured milk still tastes pretty good though). You have to drink it from a straw. Have to. Without a straw is no good. By now, you are probably thinking "This guy really loves milkshakes. He is a milkshake otaku." That is right, I do love milkshakes. I like to drink them really quickly, even though I get a stomach ache every time I do that. That shows you how much I love milkshakes!
