We finally did it!!! You would be so proud of us! What am I talking about? We can actually slurp our noodles. It has taken a couple days, but we did it this morning at breakfast. Again, we ate a hot noodle soup breakfast at a packed place in the train station. Crowded and full of slurpers. Greg did it first (of course), it started with a "wfff." I looked at him, head in his bowl and thought, huh. Then looked around to see if anyone was looking at him. No one heard him because they are all slurping too! Then it happened, Greg did a full-on longer slurp "wwwsssfffffffff." So, I could not help myself. Wssssffffffssssffff.
Greg: Wsssfffsfffsf.
Me: Wssfftttssssfff.
Together: Wsssffs, wsssff. Wsssffttfffff. Wsssssssf.
It happened. We became noodle slurpers. Authentic Japanese noodle slurpers!!! If it weren't for Greg being 3 feet taller than most Japanese people and me having blonde hair, we might actually blend in. Wssssfffts.
Problem we learned with noodle slurping is this: napkins are a rarity. So, slurp at your own risk.
