Man I haven’t posted here in forever. And here we are in July and I still have to close out my trip to 
from April.
Well I’d like to think I saved the best for last with my trip to the parasite museum.
The MEGURO PARASITOLOGICAL MUSEUM is small. You can do the whole thing in less than an hour. especially if you can’t read Japanese.
There are models and photos of parasites and the people who suffer from them. 
There was even a photo of a guy with this problem, but I opted for the cartoon instead.
And the place is chock full of jarred specimens. 
Some are borderline adorable. 
But the biggest attraction has to be the 8.8 meter long tape worm. 
Yes this was removed from a human being. And the best part about the display is there’s an 8.8 meter long piece of fabric ribbon to hold in your hands and try to swallow to relive the experience yourself (not recommended).
And the good news is this place has a gift shop. But it’s cash only so be sure to stop at an ATM if you plan on picking up a t-shirt.

Is it wrong that I find a hamster in a jar to be just too cute for words?
Very interesting and you made it hysterical as usual. I love that it is under an hour if you don’t speak Japanese. You are a pisser Jorge and I have missed you!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Truly awesome. You simply can’t beat a good parasite museum.
¿No había nada mejor para visitar ? ¿ Por ejemplo un karaoke ?
Saludos.
It is unusual for something to be both disgusting and hilarious. I gotta lean toward disgusting with the tapeworm though! (BLECH!!!)
Eww! LOL I’ve always wondered what a tape worm looked like. How DO they get them out of a person?
SNORK!!! And you went here why???
To share it with you guys of course!
There may or may not have been a whole lot of winning right there. Shall it be the parasites? Or shall it be us? Only the future of victory shall decide.
B-)
Man…and I thought my visit to the Museo della Tortura in Siena, Italy was offbeat…..
“Parasite” is such an ugly word. They prefer to be called “internal pets.”
We PC folks get a kick out this! Good work Bill
big fan of yours! I know I`ll be being repetitive, but you played Hugo Reyes so good. Well, just wanted you to know that yo have a big fan on Belém-Amazon-Brazil, its my first time watching Lost, so you can imagine how wonder I am.. anyway… I don`t even know if u`re going to read… Nice Blog! I`ll keep visiting. XOXO Thais
Ok … I can’t imagine Beth being able to deal with this place at all. How did she like it?
worth the wait……..in an eeewwwww kinda way- eeewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed that the G4 network aired the first few episodes of LOST last night. I prefer my DVD copies…no commercials.
Absolutely disgusting. Did you buy any gifts??
Jorge,
You have a stronger constitution than most. If it was me I would have introduced the curators to my friend…..RALPH!
Too funny. I don’t think Ill ever get to go too half these places you have visited. I appreciate your sharing. Its fun information.You guys must have a blast. BTW- I listen to this online radio station that plays music from TV & movies. They sometimes through music in from LOST, I sometimes get choked up relating the music to the scenes, (kind of sad music, but good). Pathetic? Yes, I guess so. I always think of Hurley…
I’m afraid to ask.. the drawing? Is that a man carrying his, um, manly parts with the help of another man? Holy cow.
wish I had not read this an hour away from bedtime….;-)
If you’re ever in Philadelphia, you have to go to the Mutter Museum of Medical Oddities. You’ll love it! Thanks for the laugh.
Yes. I know I have one of their books.
,lol that’s a very strange place to visit. yuck
Did you get creepy funny T-shirt? Well,this cartoon is HOKUSAI-Katsushika’s work,painting about Wuchereria bancrofti.
How do you say GROSS! in Japanese?
Oh Jorge, did they have an eyelash bug? Of course, they’re so tiny you’d need a high power microscope to see them. Perhaps they made a model of one? Glad you enjoyed your trip you guys and glad you’re home safe.
Ewwwwwwwwwww Jorge!!! Seguro que le gustaria a Dominic Monaghan 😉

Off topic, Jorge, any truth to the rumors you will be joining the cast of ABC’s show Once Upon A Time??? //crossing fingers\\
The cartoon reminds of something out of Johnny Dangerousy. Too funny.
