this happened tonight after dinner. i'm sitting on the floor with the girls and my hostmom, talking. i say,
"tomorrow i'm meeting a tutor."
koko-chi says,
"is it Pooh bear?"
i have no clue what the connection was there.
tonight i also learned that bubbling food goes "gutsu-gutsu" and young people and shrimp are both described as being "pichi-pichi", or in their peak, fresh. besides that, the teacher i was following at my field placement today took me to the elementary's cooking club after school. mothers and other locals lead the school's clubs, thus the name "mama club". together with them and some fourth and fifth graders we made a sort of Korean savory pancake out of tuna, eggs, rice, and leeks called "kawari chijimi". every surface and object in the room was scrubbed clean afterwards.
friday i'll be going to ueno with my architecture class and sketching buildings for the first time. i have a sketch book and some scented pens, but i don't really know what to do with them. it will be interesting, for sure.
until later, (and yes, eventually i will backtrack, i think!)
