Much of my Golden Week was spent lolling about and being lazy. Yes, I could have gone to some special event elsewhere, but let’s face it – I’m poor and will continue to be poor if I go out of my way to explore anywhere else besides my quaint city. I’m not complaining though. I do not mind spending the necessary expenses to go back home for my best girl friend’s wedding or spending the money for my upcoming two day trip this weekend to Tokyo’s Design Festa; that money I had allocated in my travel expenses and put aside. In my opinion, I can be a tourist any time I want in Japan. At the moment, I prefer being snuggled in some corner in the library and running into my students at random spots.
Like … at the local bakery.
The local Baker and the Baker’s wife invited me to one of their barbeques. Me being a fan of their breads, pastries and meat in general accepted the invitation and had been drooling over the idea for almost two weeks before the event. I had a great time meeting everyone and anyone who was in the neighbourhood.
As an aside, Japanese children and I get along like peas and carrots. We are full of silliness.
Note the usage of alliteration. Usually I would title my videos in a complete sentence describing the plot of the video as straight-forward and blase as possible with my name as the subject of the video, such as Ana Fails at a Foot Spa. This time around, I just wanted to switch it up a bit.
You’re getting really good at cutting these together, Ana! I cracked up at the opening sequence.
@Ian: Is the internet connected to your vein? I literally posted the notice on Facebook *just* now. Ha ha ha. And thanks for the compliment.
BTW: I’ll be coming back to Edmonton for a bit from August 9. LEAVE that and the next two days free. Most likely, I’ll be planning a mini reunion and mini party since it’ll be my reunion and the birthdays of my two bestests.
I like the beginning! funny~XD I showed my mom it ’cause she is a DANKE bakery fan. A expressive girl is my favorite, too. hehehe
Hey an alarm going off when no one actually has to get up. It’s like sleeping over at marc and Ana’s place!
@Dean: I do it because it reminds me of home. Ha ha ha.
Definition of a “Bestest”: One who is willing to be poor so as to attend the wedding of a bestest*. I am honored that you are willing to forgo Golden Week travels for… well… ME! *AI-BIMU* —————<3
And incidentally, it looks as though what you lack in monetary riches is more than made up by "cool-ass town in the J." riches. Your J-peeps seriously rock!
*Don't worry, Edmund's wedding comes up in Sept. 2010, so after Max's and my wedding it's MY turn to be extremely poor… it all evens out in the end.
I heart you K!
I’ve been looking forward to your wedding for … well, ever since I cried like a baby when I learned of your engagement.
