ザワークラウトの後は、お好み焼き?

今日一日中は掃除したり、アイロンを掛けたりした。晩ご飯は美味しいものを食べたかった。そしてLord of the Ringsを読みながら、ザワークラウトを作った。美味しそうでしょう?ザワークラウトはドイツ料理で、ビールによく似合うって。私もビール飲みながら食べました。

今夜Lonely Planetで大阪の観光を調べてる。新しいのも昔のもあって、面白そうだね。今おなかもういっぱいけど、お好み焼きを食べたい!!!

今外で花火が見えてる。花火は、時間がこんな短い、でもすごくきれいだね。終わりは来なきゃ、でも心に覚える。ずっと。。。

I spent the whole of today cleaning and ironing. For dinner, I wanted to eat something nice. As such, I cooked sausage and sauerkraut while reading "Lord of the Rings". It looks delicious, right? Sauerkraut is a German dish, I heard that it goes very well with beer. I too, had beer while eating.

I'm checking up on my Japan trip in Lonely Planet. There are both modern and historic sights in Osaka, which look interesting. Although I am already full, I still feel like eating okonomiyaki!

I can see fireworks outside. Fireworks last for such a short time, but are so beautiful. It has to end, but I will remember it in my heart for a long time.

マレーシアの店員

今週は忙しかったから、日本語の授業を今朝まで延期しなければならなかった。今日授業の後で、図書館に行って、JLPT試験を練習した。今日は日本語の勉強の日だよね。聴解の質問がかなり難しかった!何回も聞いてもあまり分かれなかったし。

練習中に、近くのSecret Recipeで ちょっと休憩した。店は狭かったが、店員が四人いました。四人の中で二人はとても暇そうだった。でも勘定の際、店員は私のテーブルに来る気が無く、レジで私を待っていた。私が食べたケーキは高かったが、その店員の為になるからでしょう。実はマレーシアの店の調子が、このSecretRecipeのと大体同じ。店員が多すぎけど、私にはサービスが遅すぎ。

おなかがすいた!では、今晩ご飯を作りに行く。。。


As I have been busy this week, I had to postpone my Japanese lesson to this morning. After the lesson today, I went to the library and practised JLPT exam questions. This is a day of studying Japanese! The listening comprehension questions were quite difficult! Despite listening many times, I could hardly understand.

In between, I took a break at the Secret Recipe cafe near the library. While the cafe was small, there were four staff. Out of the four, two looked very free. However, when I asked for the bill, the staff waited for me at the cash register instead of coming to my table. The high price of the cake that I had was probably due to these staff. Actually, the situation in the shops in Malaysia is similar to that of the Secret Recipe cafe. Although there are too many staff, service is too slow for me.

Hungry! Going to prepare dinner now...
