Comic-Con 2008, San Diego - Part 1

Some pics from Comic-Con in 2008. It was crowded. We had to drive around 1 hour to just find parking. Every single parking lot was full. At Comic-Con, I wanted to buy some limited-edition toys only available at Comic-Con, but there were long lines, so I gave up. But I got my Hello Kitty that I believe is only available in Japan. Also we went to panels and, again, always long lines, long walking. I can't believe some people go for 3 days.


There were these "bike taxi", he took us from our parking area to the convention. $5 per person. From our parking, it was about a 10 minute ride.

Nissin - Donbei Kitsune Udon instant noodles

This is one of the instant udon noodles I've been eating since I was a kid. Of course, this is just instant, so the noodles are very different from what you get at a restaurant. But I like the flavor of these noodles.

Noodles have different flavors depending on which part of Japan you are in. Like Tokyo and Osaka have different flavors. And the reason is because some areas likes stronger flavors, but some areas like simple flavors.












































When you make instant cup noodles, after you pour the hot water, make sure you ALWAYS close the top like in the picture. I always put a plate on top.

Myojo - Ramen Desse Japanese style instant noodles

Ramen-Desse soy sauce flavor instant noodles. You open the packages, pour the hot water, wait 3 minutes, then it's ready to eat. I waited 4 minutes and unfortunately my noodles were still al dente. I wonder if my hot water wasn't hot enough? This was my first time trying Ramen-Desse and I didn't think it was so good. But I kinda wanna try other flavors too since many people on other blogs say this noodle is good.
