Last weekend we visited the Tokyo parasite museum a.k.a. Meguro Parasitological Museum. I wasn’t sure what to expect of this museum, but it turned out very interesting.

Entrance to the museum is free of charge, but there is a donation box if you do wish to contribute like we did. There were a bunch of parasites that live in both humans and animals. The most interesting parasite was definitely the 8.8 metres long tapeworm that lived inside a man’s body for a few months. Imagine carrying that around!

Afterwards, we met up with my friend and went for lunch near Meguro river at a restaurant where they had great Japanese beef (link http://www.markmatsuoka.tokyo/ ).Since Blue Bottle coffee was nearby, we decided to stop there because I never had it before. The coffee tasted rather sour. Anyone else had that same experience?

I hopped to the supermarket to buy dinner. That night I made pork belly in Coca Cola. Not the healthiest recipe, but so savoury and so good.
