Here and gone... and in Japantown...
So my brother was here for not long enough, and I am feelin' kinda sad. We had such a wonderful time and did a lot of exploring, which I will write about in a future post (so much to say!), once I get all the pictures set.
But today, today is a banner day in Bridget's little Japanese world.
Loody and I went for noodles at Mifune in Japantown, and I had a super yummy pile of Udon.
Then we travelled over to the bookstore where I got my book of First Thousand Words in Japanese. Remember Richard Scarey books? Where there would be pictures of all sorts of cartooney little things and the words next to them? Well, it's just like that, except the words are in Japanese. I figure my first run at learning the language would be to pretend that I'm a child, because that's not so far from the truth.
It's so cute though, and offers pronunciation online! Go me!
So the next step is flashcards, because I just can't get enough. And writing practice with my new little brush pen.
We went to this stationary store and I was in colored-paper and crazy day-glo office supply heaven! Japanese imports have it all over Target, and I loves me some Target.
I got a little origami set too, which I'm quite happy about sitting and putting together. It's like a little origami disco ball. See?
I'm just praying I don't get bored halfway through like I do with knitting. I love knitting, I just don't have the attention span. UGHHHH.
Off to eat beef jerky and origami myself into a little frenzy.
