Lisa.Y

Today Lisa sensei told me about her recent trip to Fukui and Ishikawa. She showed pictures of the hotel and onsen that she went to. It all looked so pretty. I was fun to see the sign asking people to remove insects and fallen leaves from the baths with a net. The English and Japanese sentences were so different! :-) I am already looking forward to the next lesson!

Today Lisa sensei told me about her trip to Ena and showed me a lot of pictures. It looked like a very nice place to stay for a few days. hopefully I will be able to go there some day. I also discovered that I had been to that area, but I only ate some soba there haha :-D Next time it's my turn to tell about my upcoming trip to Belgium. I'm looking forward to the next lesson already! :-)

Today we spoke about Japanese whiskey as I gave a bottle of Japanese whiskey to a friend for his birthday :-) We also had a nice talk about how I met me friend, and his challenges of being a wheelchair user. As he is going to Japan later this year we spoke about how to find a special barrier free hotel room. We also spoke about the weather in Japan, it is very snowy right now. Lisa sensei showed me some pictures of snow man, and we spoke about having a snowball fight. She then mentioned a story about a youtuber who caused trouble with throwing snowballs at the sapporo yuki matsuri. We both think those kind of people are very annoying! We then went on to talk about a cute bird that sat down in front of the window next to me haha! :-D I'm looking forward to next weeks lesson!

Today we spoke about my trip to belgium. I showed a lot of pictures and video's. It was a very nice conversation and I practiced using a lot of specific words that you would use in this context.

Today we spoke about a lot of interesting but difficult topics, like loved ones being in the hospital and how we deal with it. In Japan people tend to go to a shrine to pray and in europe many people go to church. However, there are also a lot of people who do not have a religion nowadays. It was a very interesting talk and I used a lot of new words! I'm looking forward to the next lesson! :-)

Today we spoke about cold weather. It is currently really cold in Japan and there is a lot of snow. Lisa sensei asked about the current weather in the Netherlands, and in the Netherlands it isn't very cold right now. But when it is cold people like to ice skate a lot. We spoke about the elfstedentocht and about Frisia/Friesland. I showed her some pictures and she asked me about the orange heads that everybody was wearing, so we spoke about unox soup and sausages :-D We then spoke about what I did during the weekend and somehow ended up talking about dutch row houses. It was a lot of fun once again. I'm already looking forward to next week! :-)
