Pocky: obtained. I'm actually very proud of myself, because this was one of the weird little things that I keep meaning to do but then work myself into a panicky paralysis over for NO REASON WHATSOEVER. Anyway, I did it. And my first verdict was: I don't see what all the fuss is about, but after a few minutes, I realised that I couldn't quite bring myself to put the box down.

I'm doomed.

Bwaa hah hahahahhaha!!! What kind did you get? Dark chocolate is my favorite.

Also, found out about absinthe in the US. It's not illegal to HAVE it, but they make it nigh impossible to GET it. Postal services won't carry alcohol if they know about it, and can confiscate it if they like, and so can customs, although customs is more apathetic about it, as they have bigger things on their minds.

Alas.

Enjoy your pocky. You have been assimilated.

You can get it in Aya, beside the Powerscourt shopping centre off Grafton St. They have a few shelves of stuff for sale just inside the door, pocky included. I got the strawberry kind, but I also saw caramel, dark chocolate, and almond crush.

I picked up some Pocky Mousse the other day at the asian grocery here - the chocolate's extra thick and delicious. My friend got some in a black, no-translation-attempted box that tastes like peanut butter and ash (if you can imagine that flavor combo). One of the ingrediants was "forbidden rice", though, so obviously gad to try it. Happy indulging!
