Just a quick post before I forget. I need to make sure we all have this on our calendar for next year. I was informed by my students at school that November 11th is Pocky Day.
Pocky, for those who don't know, is a kind of Japanese sweet you can get just about anywhere. It is basically a cookie-stick dipped in chocolate. The chocolate can be any flavor you want, though the traditional Pocky are chocolate and strawberry flavored. Pocky is a cult classic with teenagers in the US who have fallen in love with Japanese animation and comics. It travels easily, its fun to eat, and its pretty tasty.
Since the shape is a long cylinder, Pocky has apparently been adopted as the mascot for November 11th (11/11). As you have probably guessed, next year, (11/11/11) is MEGA Pocky Day. You won't see this again in your lifetime, so make sure your 2011 calendars are well marked and you know where to get Pocky in your neighborhood. You're welcome.
