Every Pool Rule Broken and the Six Year Old at Pool Wednesday June 16

I have been busy and tired so I haven't written and am going to try to backtrack here. Wednesday at noon, I went to the pool and it seems like every rule or social/cultural value I was supposed to follow all went to hell. First off, when I was putting on my swim cap, I pulled my earring out. I put my wonderfully gorgeous cap on a second before I hit the water. The earring back came off in my hand and the earring fell into the low front of my bathing suit. I, naturally, put my hand in my suit and starting digging around for the earring. I forgot where I was and here I am standing in front of all to see, with my hand in the front of my bathing suit. Oh what a great start! I finally, turned around and kept looking for my earring, You will be happy to know that I found it. Then later as I walking in the pool, my swim cap just popped off. It is tight on me so I put it on a bit differently to try not to squish my brains out.

I had been seeing two children and their parents in the pool several times now. I thought I heard the little girl speak English. So today, in the locker room, she was alone and I asked her if she spoke English. We had a short conversation, where she told me she iives in Hawaii and that is in Japan visiting her dad. I think they live on two continents for now, because the mom and dad are both in the pool.

Nothing else eventful at the pool. No pics!

Nothing Ventured, nothing gained

Thursday May 27 4:35pm. As you will notice, I am in a totally different time zone. You guys are like back to the future for me. I am doing things when you haven't even gotten to the time and day yet. Today's venture: As you know I am pretty jet lagged. I am feeling it real bad right now. My back is killing me from who knows what, but I feel my back and my leg pain that I did NOT want in Japan. So I took a few IB profun and will go to sleep at 9pm and tomorrow, it will be better. (I hope). I waited and walked to work with Monica, she works at that craft store with bunches and bunches and bunches of fabric. I spent about an hour wandering around the store and bought nothing. I was window shopping! Because I have such a terrible sense of direction, Suzanne (The French Suzanne) told me to take pictures of how I got there. So poor Monica, we had to stop every few feet so that I could take a picture of where I was and where i was going. We went to her store and on the wa

Hachiko / Shibuya / Sushi /and pronouncing Japanese words quiz

Image
Last night, we met Eric's friend Jeffery and Monica's friend, Chester for conveyor belt sushi. Jeffery is from London and he taught English for 2 years over here and now attends the same University that Eric does. His mother is Japanese and father is British. Chester went to college with Monica in California. He is over here for a few months studying Japanese. He is full Chinese and wants to stay in Japan longer. We were going for conveyor belt sushi. I love sushi and when Eric lived in Miyazaki, I had it there. It is fun to watch all the food go by and then to pick what you want. The only downfall is sometimes it goes around alot and when you pick it, it is not hot. Still good, just not hot. We met in Shibuya, which is the largest "meet up" place in Tokyo. For those of you who have been to London Leicester Square is the big meet up place. Shibuya is famous for Hachiko also. "Shibuya (渋谷区 Shibuya-ku?) is one of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Japan. A
