get the f#*& out

did you know

in the Kyoto district of Japan, when guests have worn out their welcome say at someone's home or at a shop, the host can get rid of them in a very indirect way by offering them a certain food.

all they have to say is "why don't you stay and have some bubuzuke?".

bubuzuke is alot like ochazuke, which is a rice and green tea soup. it is delicious.

in Kyoto, it's understood that when you're visiting someone and they offer you some bubuzuke...well, they're basically asking you to bounce.

i find this hilarious. i've started using it already.
