Most parts of her body will be covered with banana leaves where clusters of sushi will be placed on them.


10. Dark

For those who would like to experience dining in total darkness, you can visit Nocti Vagus Dark Restaurant in Berlin, Germany. The well-trained waiters who will serve you are blind. Customers will be entertained with special cultural programs also in darkness.
