Sushi may be yummy but it's not for me!

As I have said before I try to explore the Japanese culture in the landlocked city of El Paso, Texas (United States). When I say try I literally mean try. The other day I was craving sushi so I naturally went to a sushi restaurant but I was terrified. Why? Ever since I was little I have had this issue with eating fish, meaning I gag. So, I went to the restaurant called Okazuri and ordered tuna sashimi sushi first. It good and not that bad as I tried not to think about it. Then I moved on the yellow tailed tuna sashimi, a spicy tuna roll and all went well. Lastly, I ordered something called a crazy monkey roll (maki roll containing smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado and fresh mango). It was delicious until I got to the second to last bite. I threw my chair back and lost my dinner once I got to the restroom. Your probably wondering, when you go to Japan how will you survive? The answer is I won't!!!
