Saturday afternoon my friend Yasu picked me up at the airport and we went to Aeon to have crepe and coffee, it's been a while that we haven't seen each other.
And then I visited his family in Sammu, Chiba. The house is so big...so many rooms, with pine tree in round shape. They have a rice and vegetable field, garage, dog's home, store room for new rice for sale, and a small dark room, which if you did something wrong as a kid you will be put in there overnight (I called it the 反省room)
The family prepared yakiniku and beer to welcome me (-_- feel so 申し訳ない). After yakiniku we chat a little bit with legs in kotatsu, like about farming, New York, the cold lemon tea phenomena in hk. Also "interpret" on the phone JP<>Cantonese for Yasu about his work.
Next day after the breakfast I played with their pet – a big dog called Terry. He's a well behaved dog. We were giving him dog biscuit and played the 'matte-yoshi' game. It understands both 'matte' and 'yoshi' *amazing*
After that I strolled along the fields and the park nearby. The park is really big, ducks are sunbathing, kids are having soccer competition, basketball competition, elderly are playing 'old style' golf, there is a river running along, a large piece of grassland, kids were playing on the swing and samazama na facilities - ok the park itself is like the telford garden + amoy plaza.
I went back and the super kind family stuffed me lots of snacks and a letter before I went to the train station. Then I took the train to Tokyo and reached the hotel Rie booked for me.
Again it’s so orz and申し訳ない, the hotel is a big one, with a green and red Christmas tree light decoration on the wall. 5 mins walk to the office.
The office is a nice building, with small but well equipped service office.
And now I’m sitting in the same room with Isa, she’s selling jobs on the call.

返信削除よし、こちらも会話クラスの様子を書こうと思う。新しいシリーズを始める際、肝さんの友達が全部やめたけど、肝さん本人が残る。そして新しいクラスメイトが一人現れたんだ。クラスには、例の自己紹介のほかに、今回は”決まり文句”を勉強した。例えば、”ご愁傷様でこざいます”はお葬式に用いられているって、ということだ。
ではまた!
