Buddha Buns

I thought I escaped them when I left Tokyo, but no. Buddha buns are now everywhere in Berlin!

    1. My hair's never been long enough to do that....maybe I'm jealous? They sell some hair stuff (ie. a big donut-like thing covered with velcro) that helps you make perfect buns....maybe you need one of those! haha!

  2. It's so done. If everyone in the same age bracket and teachers over 80 have the same hairdo, it's time to move on.

    PS: when I saw the title, I hoped this would be about delicious Japanese baked goods. Little bit disappointed.

    1. I don't remember seeing so many people with buns when I first got here, but suddenly...they're everywhere! They've been popular in Japan for ages and I was so sick of seeing them (although fascinated by them at the same time), but now they're heeeere! Kind of like the bubble tea rage that's been sweeping through Berlin for the past year or so.

      And you're so right. Buddha buns should be a food. If it makes you feel better, buns are called "odango" in Japanese...which is "round rice cake"? mmmm hairy rice cake.
