The GP thread about getting a tattoo

Posted 11-02-2009 at 12:21 PM by shogun (Shogun's blog~ fragments of life in Tokyo)

Not a tattoo person here but I have nothing against those who have them though.

The thread just reminded me about tattoos in Japan. Did you know that you can be refused a sports gym membership, or entry to a swimming pool, or hot springs or sento (public bath) if you have tattoos. DH told me about this way back and I was sooo surprised. He said if the tattoo is smaller, they ask you to cover it up with a bandage or wear long sleeves, etc. You obviously can't do that with really...

What a treat! I need him to teach me how to make this.





It's called Tau Huay (literally means tofu flower; called douhua in Mandarin), made from soft tofu. Very mild dessert with ginger sauce and tapioca & peanut topping. Not too sweet, which I prefer.

Finally!!! After going through stages or motivation and otherwise, I finally finished the online course. I submitted the first worksheet on April 20th and submitted the 20th (and final) worksheet on Oct. 5th. Deadline was Oct. 20th. I certainly took my time.

I'm not even sure why I took this course and if it will help somehow. I am entitled to a free 'young learners course' but I'm taking a break until end of this month to enjoy the halloween festivities.

Pardon...

Phone tree revelation

Posted 09-10-2009 at 02:53 AM by shogun (Shogun's blog~ fragments of life in Tokyo)
Updated 09-10-2009 at 03:32 AM by shogun

I just got the revised phone tree for Sho's class today and there are 36 kids in their class. Out of the 36, only one mom did not have a cellphone number listed, just her home phone. All the rest had cellphones.
