とんかつ

It's that time again.
The time when i realize the days we have left are so few, that they probably shouldn't be spent blogging.
Or at least not as frequently as usual.
They probably shouldn't be spent sitting inside reading all day when the weather is real nice outside, but that's exactly what i did today, so who knows, maybe i'll find time to blog too.

Allan had his last session on this trip today, and since i wasn't feeling too great, i decided to just hang at Yellow Blaze.
I brought my book and my Hiragana homework, so i had enough entertainment for the whole day.
Allan was a tough cookie, always is, and they got a lot done.
We both have two more appointments in November and i'm excited for mine already.

Lining and tails

I did venture outside a few times to pick up supplies, and on one of those trips something really wonderful happened.
I was standing in the food section of 100 Yen Shop, checking out random stuff and scanning for anything vaguely familiar, as i've done so many times before, when all of a sudden i found myself reading labels!
I can't even explain how awesome that felt!
I can't read everything of course, but enough to manage to buy the stuff i need and that's a start.
And back at the studio i even read some Kanji too.
Since we started getting into practicing again*, it's like little bits of information that was invisible to us before, is now popping up everywhere, and discovering this new world is so much more fun than we expected.

My 100 Yen buys
Back in Koenji, the ticket machine at the ramen shop made friggin sense to us too, i ordered the salt ramen with extra vegetables, and that's exactly what i got!
Good ramen and reggae tunes
