So, today was yet another day, and once again not particularly interesting or exciting. Finished cleaning the peeman house before noon. Afternoon was spent preparing flower beds. After work I went on a bike ride to town, played at the playground and went back. Tonight’s dinner was the local specialty: Dango jiru. I did a little research on it in Denmark, but I thought it was some kind of dessert soup, as “dango” is (also) a traditional sweet in japan; however, this was a “regular” soup with handmade (by obaa-chan) noodle-ish dough strips. It was good! May ask for that on my last night here, unless I think of something else.
When we work, we often listen to the radio, and even though I only get a little of what’s being said, it’s sometimes pretty interesting… and sometimes VERY boring. They talk about strange topics sometimes. I remember a looong conversation about “goya mushipan”. (Goya is a very bitter vegetable and mushipan is a kind of fluffy bread).
Sometimes though, they have radio dramas! The last time I heard one was while working with the sweet peas, where they told “Ali Baba and the 40 robbers” (or whatever it’s called in English). This time, I heard “Aladdin and the Magic Lamp”, in Japanese: “Aladdin to mahou lampu”, I think. I couldn’t hear it clearly though.
I also heard another “mukashibanashi” (fairytale), but I don’t know the name. It was something about three brothers; that’s about what I heard, lol.
It won’t be long until I move on… hope it’ll be exciting! I’m actally already looking forward to my next homestay in Hokkaido in 4 weeks’ time. They too seem extremely nice! I’ll find out soon enough though ^^
