No milk is tondemonai

FujiQ is an awesome amusement park with some really great rides and bizarre things to see. Dodonpa gives me a heart attack every single time and who can get sick of Fujiyama? Ok, maybe if you go on it 8 times when there is no line then you don't feel too genki on the 2 hour bus ride home. Food is interesting there too. They have this hybrid of Japanese and American park food with a few familliar chains lurking in dark corners. American dogs (corn dogs) and takoyaki, pizza and yakisoba :3 The Tondemina is a giant ring that swings from a huge pendulum while rotating. Fun but vicious if it is raining. Those droplets sting like gravel. The ride is sponsored by a pizza company called Pizza-La which has a restaurant directly opposite. We ate there this one time a bunch of us went. I remember it being a little on the pricey side; I want to say around 400 yen for a slice but I could be completely mistaken. Tasty though, and quick, which is always good when trying to beat the never ending lines. Admittedly, FujiQ lines can be extremely short, probably because we go on weekdays and it is a little further out being on the foothills of Mount Fuji.


So, while we were eating I started craving for milk. They didn't have anything milky on the drink menu and ice cream was not really nearby. Solution? Creamer pots! I think there was some doubt as to whether or not I would dare pull something like that, so I got a paper cup and grabber as many creamer pots from the tray as I could, even asked tabedachi to grab a couple more handfuls, and sat back down at our table. Opened all the pots and emptied them out into the cup and voila! Cup of mystery goo! It was a decent amount. I didn't mind it that much but some people really couldn't stomach it at all. I did need some water to wash it down but it was strangely satisfying :)
