Lisa.Y

Today we spoke about fuel problems. My friends car was filled with water instead of diesel, and Lisa sensei's neighbors accidentally had gasoline in their heater instead of kerosine which caused a fire. I'm glad they were not physically harmed. We also spoke about a local supermarket chain that sells all kinds of fruit deserts. They looked very oishii !! :-D We ended with talking about names. In the Netherlands we have a tradition of using biblical names. But lately people also have modern names like Vlinder (butterfly) and Maan (moon). In Japan this would be very normal, but hearing it in Dutch it sounds weird to me :-D I'm looking forward to next weeks lesson already!

Today we spoke about cars. specifically about hydrogen cars, as I went to a hydrogen car event. It was interesting to have a conversation about it because we had to use a lot of difficult words. :-) We also spoke about how I met my friend that took me to the event. It was an interesting conversation :-) I'm looking forward to next weeks lesson!

Today we spoke about Japanese school lunch. It was interesting to hear about the different foods Japanese kids like to eat, and compare the habits with Dutch lunch habits. We also spoke about more serieus school stuff like a teacher being arrested for being a pervert. We compared the Japanese way of dealing with it to the Dutch way of dealing with it. It is always interesting to compare cultures with Lisa sensei. I'm already looking forward to the next lesson! :-)

Today we spoke about my trip in a self driving car. It was very interesting to drive the car, but also to explain it to Lisa sensei. :-) We also spoke about dutch pancakes and special breads like saucijzenbroodje and frikandelbroodje. We then spoke about types of fruit and vegetables. It was interesting! XD I'm already looking forward to the lesson next week!

Today we spoke about all the pancakes I eat. I am really happy that I can chew a little again! We also spoke about Dutch work culture where many people work part time and share parental responsibilities. It is interesting to compare with Japanese work culture where people always seem to work.

Today we spoke about my recovery. I can start to chew on soft foods starting today, so we talked a lot about what kind of foods I want to try and eat! XD We also spoke about the games I play as I still can't do a lot. It's a lot of Japanese games, so we spoke about all the Japanese things in the games. Like snackbars in kabukicho and other related things :-) I'm looking forward to next weekens lesson, I hope I can report I managed to eat a lot of stuff again! :-D
