People can be nasty. Travelling abroad is one of the privilege of being a Japanese. but since Coronavirus has been spreading over the world, people see me as if I were carrying the virus. I never felt discraminated against on my base.

Eating habit I am neither vegan nor vegetarian but since I left Japan, I have met so many people who doesn't eat meat.

At first I was just curious what vegan people eat everyday so I looked up their channels on youtube.

I didn't expect that their meals would be that looks good but actually really looks delicious and easy to prepare.

I didn't used to care about what I eat where they come from, how they grow up.

However, I saw "Earthring" awhile ago and it was very shocking.

That made me think about my eating habit.

Animals, like cow and pig they are cut up their throat alive.

Life expentancy of cow is 15 years but milk cow live just 4,5 years then they become mince for humbergers.

The chickens are put into tiny dirty cages just let them produce eggs.

The male chicks are shreddered alive the day they are born as they are not able to have egg.

I have been eating meat without knowing reality of meat industry but from now I can change my style little by little.

About coffee I got this question

「Could you tell a Kenyan coffee from a Colombian coffee and state？」

Could anyone teach me what does "state" mean?Does it mean area？

Festival It was my only day off in a week today.

I woke up around 9 am and brewed coffee using aeropress which is my favorite equipment to make coffee.

After that I went to a weekends veggie market near my flat.

Today I got 2 apples,2 bananas,a bunch of corriander,lemon,courgette,1/2 dozen of egg they just cost me 10 NZD.

I should have got some mushrooms..

.

Then I went to a festival which is the biggest festival in Wellington.

As my coworker flaked on me, I went there by myown.

There were tons of food tracks, clothes shop and music band were performaning.

Even though the main road was closed, couldn't easily to move forward because of millions people.

I wanted to try something from food track but ended up I had ramen at ramen shop

CV/Resume I am working as a part time barista but I have a cafe where I am eager to work for.

LION/Movie I saw LION on Netflix yesterday.

The story is 5 years old poor rural boy fell asleep on a train went to Kolkata where 1600km away from his home.

His language was hindi but the people in Kolkata speaks Bengal even though they live in same country.

While was in Kolkata, he was almost kidnapped.He ran away all cruel people.

I can't imagine how much he felt fear.

Luckly, he was protected by police and spent time in orphanage then adapted by Australian marrige couple.

After growing up in Australia, he decided to find his Indian family.

One of his friend suggested him to find hometown using google earth.

"We can go everywhere with google

"

he said.He tried to find home but he just had slight memories of childhood so it took him 5 years to find it.

He ended up could see his mother and younger sister after 25 years since he lost.

However his older brother who was with him when he lost was already passed away hitted by train.

Now he lives in Australia and every year he visits his Indian family in India.

This is true story.

How beautiful this story is.

His brother must have led him back to India.

Lalaland/movie Last night, I saw La・la・land on Netflix. I have heard of that movie but never seen. My first impression of the movie wasn't good as I am not interested in musical movie. But in the end, I was crying and I was moved by the movie. The story ended up bitter sweet against my expectations. I thought they would be getting back together but they didn't. Nobody knows what happen in the future. I would like to cherish every single moment.

Work out As my two work places are closed tomorrow, I have nothing to do.

I just arrived in this city so unfortunatally I still don't have any friends to hang out with.

I guess it's time to sign up for a gym?

I gained a lot in Canada probably plus 10kg from one year ago.

I have no idea why I put so much weight because I cooked healthy meals everyday.

Anyway, If I lost some weight, I want to wear skinny denim stylishly.

Thank you for reading my post:)

Japanese restraunt Currently, I am working at a cafe also in the evening, I am working at a Japanese restaurant.

Both work places are located nearby my flat.

It happened last night at the Japanese restaurant.

A pair of customer ordered hot meal and cold meal at the same time(They didn't mention which would be a starter also cold meal which they ordered was kind of main meal)

As the restaurant was too crowded, hot meal served first.

A chief who was in charge of cold meal got a lot of order, so he took a long time to prepare it.

Then the customer called me and started complain about our

service.

She was saying that cold meal had to be comes first but even though they finished hot meal and waited and waited, still cold meal hasn't served!!!

I didn't take their order and wasn't sure what's going on.So All I could do was just apporogize to the customer and comfirmed the order.

I didn't know what to say them because In Japan, It doesn't matter to serve in order(except course meal)

While I was thinking what to say, she said "Oh maybe you don't understand me" to me with upset look.

I said to her "We should have served you cold meal first" she said "YES!"

If I could speak English better, she wouldn't had upset like this.

I thought I was used to work as a waitress but need to level up my English and have to mamage whatever happens.
