The Mountain Song

Please don't watch this unless you want to hear it another ten thousand times in the back of your brain for about a month or two. It's not Jane's Addiction obviously. It's from a movie directed by Katsuhito Ishii, 茶の味　(The Taste of Tea). The colour brown in Japanese is literally 'tea colour', 茶色, （ちゃいろ）.

Konnichipa is, apparently, this lass' cute way to say konnichiwa, which means 'good day'. It's really instructive in either how annoying or how mesmerising you find it. I take no responsibility for any ear worms you acquire (from the German 'ohrwurm'). The tune sounds a bit German actually, like crazed polka music.

I have so many of these weird videos saved. I promised Bek it wouldn't only be her who suffered them.

Mad finger play.

Winding Down

Well, unless you haven't noticed I haven't really written anything here in a long time. Japan is kind of normal now, for me. In fact I've lived longer in this apartment than in my house in Botany. I've kind of forgotten anything but my daily Japanese routine. All my neighbour hood knowledge is about where to get cheap apples, which are the closest supermarkets, and the things I need to buy from the three of them because I can't find everything in one store. Indeed they are not very super.

We're heading back on December the 13th. The tickets are booked but it's getting iffy with the company, pay-wise and expense-wise, lately. They haven't managed to pay for our apartment for this month, for example. Luckily we won't be kicked out on the street because we have a cute, helpless daughter.

This blog was for any interested parties to peruse, but mainly so I can remember my trip in the future. I'll probably only post Japanese videos from now on, or a few pics here and there.
