Quick Update
Nov. 28th, 2023 05:41 pmHey guys!
Today was mainly a stay in day.
There was some construction happening in my neighbourhood, and I guess the garbage site was temporarily moved. One of the workers was so kind to take my garbage. 🙏
I stopped at my local post office to collect the Earthbound handbook that I had shipped to me after I don't know how many years of procrastination. They really nailed the 1990s design!
On my way back home, I stopped by the neighbourhood bakery to buy some bread. There, a mother and her young kindergarten aged son were in line. I gave a free English lesson while we were waiting. My fallback on these free demo lessons is:
Do you like (item)?/ Yes, I do./No, I don't.
Do you like ice cream?
Yes, I do.
Do you like natto?
Yes, I do.
Do you like... natto ice cream?
No, I don't! Yucky!
The kids always have fun with this play on words, and you can swap out the foods with different things to localise it. The original song is called Do You Like (Broccoli Ice Cream)? from Super Simple Songs.
The mother had to repeatedly tell her son not to touch the breads, so a new expression I taught was No touching! The whole interaction was really cute.
Because of the amount of time that has passed since I backed the Kickstarter project, I didn't get all the items included. But that was completely, and totally my fault. But space is at a premium here in Japan, so it's fine. I like to think that I'm doing better, but indeed it seems I am still a master procrastinator!
Speaking of procrastination, I have posted the fully fleshed out part 1 of the Mishima/Tokyo trip here. I decided to edit that entry instead of deleting and reposting it. Part 2 will be forthcoming.
Also, if you guys can respond to the survey that I posted here, I'd really appreciate it! It just takes a second to respond as to whether my Moffatts getup is fashion (👕) or cosplay (🦸♀️).
Thank you so much. 🙏 🙏 🙏
