A Day With Chris

This afternoon Sophie, Chris and I took a Japanese sweet making class at the cultural centre.
It was a small class, 4 students in total. The other student was a mid-age woman who owns a Japanese restaurant.
We made 2 different kinds of sweets. The first kind was jelly made of sea weed extract. The other one was green tea flavored bean paste jelly.

After the class, I wanted to shop for some t-shirts for work, so Chris took me to the mall.
Chris drove...
When we exited the parking lot, we almost crashed into another car…

After we almost killed ourselves, we stopped by a gas station. The gas stations in Japan give full services. They wipe the windows for you and collect the garbage in your car, etc. The guy at the gas station gave Chris a towel to wipe the inside of his car, but after Chris paid for the gas he just completely forgot to return the towel and drove away. It was only after we drove a couple blocks after, he realized about the towel. We were both too embarrassed to go back to the station to return it…

When we arrived at the mall, we walked towards the entrance and thought the door was automatic, so we stood there for a while, then realized that the people behind just went around us. It turned out that we just stood in front of a door-looking shield… which wasn’t the entrance. It was so embarrassing!!!

We had a silly day. What can we say… we are “crazy gaijin”.
