How To Eat An Onigiri From A Japanese Convinience Store?


When you go to Japan, it seems that everyone is on hurry. And by that comes food in which you can eat in hurry, especially when you are on sightseeing and you want to maximize every second of your trip.

Worry no more because Japan has lot to offer when it comes to instant foods. Every block, you can spot a convinience store called "combini" in Japanese in where you can buy from chips to rice meals.

One of the most popular food in Japan is the Onigiri. They even have a special lunch bag shaped just for this meal. It is a rice shaped like a triangle with different viands inside it. It is wrapped in seaweed and then sealed by a plastic.

It is a little confusing on how to open it in a way that you dont mess up the seaweed wrapping around it. Instructions are written below.



But for further demo, here's how:

1. Peel of the part where number "1" is written. Usually, it is the top part.


2. Go all the way down and around the back until you peel off a strip in the middle part.


3. Pull off the sides labeled "2" and "3".


4. Take a bite and enjoy! I recommed Tuna Mayo Onigiri! :)

How To Commute To Laguna From EDSA Using Public Tranport (Bus)?






There are numerous bus terminals in EDSA that can take you to Laguna. This post is specifically for commuters who would like to go to Calamba, Laguna or to Pansol, Laguna.

From EDSA, ride a bus bearing Calamba, Lucena, Lipa, or Batangas signboard. You can opt to ride a bus parked inside a terminal which waits for passengers or just wait by the side of the highway and hail one. Once inside, tell the conductor, you wish to be dropped by Turbina.

Upon reaching Turbina, cross the road to ride a jeepney bearing SM Calamba/Crossing signboard. You can ask the driver to drop you off at SM Calamba since it is the most known and safest place for tourist to start with.

There are many tricycles parked there that can take you to famous locations in the place (Rizal's Residence, Pasol Hot Springs). The fare is only P20 minimum if I am not mistaken.

Enjoy the travel and adventure! :)
