lol you're welcome. Though I'm sure you're much better than I was when I was first praised for my good Japanese lol (and I only knew like words)

 

And I found them at Libro in Asakusa (Asakusa Rox). Exactly where I was hoping to find them lol (I bought several calendars from there last year, with kitties and such, so I knew they must have at least had them. But they still did.)

 

And the invasion will probably conclude tomorrow... as I'm taking the swans with me to Sendai...

 

Lol I was once much better at Japanese than this. Listening, yes, reading, sure why not, but speaking has well and truly gone down the drain. I started learning a long time ago but things and stuff and life and no practice for years!

Sadly no, it's too far after all... (and I don't like Korea as much as Japan to have two reasons ^_^; ) i am going to Milan, though...

 

And found the two Yuzu calendars (not the Ice Rink Sendai ones, the wall and desk ones)!

Aww, have fun! i wanted to try for Milan too but alas, with Tokyo this month and Korea in February I think I'm pushing it too much with my vacation time  I've almost used up all of it with Korea as it is.

 

I should maybe look for Yuzu calendars too! Try to encourage me to improve my really bad Japanese, heh.

Heading back from Sendai... Went to the Ice Rink, but it was too awkward, so I just got a flier and ran off ^_^; Also getting there was an adventure as Google maps guided me on a shortcut... that led between an empty terrain and a large vegetable garden... at twilight. >.< I took the 'longer' but far more straightforward path on the way back.

 

I had also wanted to tour the subway stations and take pictures of all the posters, but I failed ^_^; I did half the Tozai line and a couple from the other.

 

But I did manage to give two swans to two very nice ladies ^_^; And write Yuzu a message (I mentioned fans around the world in it, too ^_^)

I’m suddenly filled with so much dread about that NYT article.  Why’d I have to pick that day to forget my true introvert nature?

Lmao i experienced that google maps route too. It felt very "local" shall we say.

Was it also in semi-darkness? Made it even more... interesting...

 

Though an elderly lady that passed me actually greeted me, so it felt less creepy...

At least you only have a picture and he kind of agreed not to have your face in it. I gave a damn interview >.< It's official: being famous sucks

I would gladly trade places with you! I am so allergic to cameras I don't think a photo exists of me in the last 10 years. His GPF streak, my ninja camera dodge streak, it's that bastardo 4lz's fault!

We introverts can do a damn good job at public speaking. Speaking as an introvert who has to do PR quite a bit in her job, it tends to come off as more truthful and sincere.

Oh I would have been fine speaking but he didn't want to talk, probably because I'm so drop dead gorgeous #whatevenisahairbrush

He could barely speak English The American what's his name had probably gone back to his hotel by then. (Or was inside to watch the competition since he'd come there anyway.)

 

And I normally can't speak properly in any language. Though I have gotten slightly better since i've started working (as I sometimes have to clients). Though I still have one of my boys pick up the phone when it rings To avoid speaking unless they specifically want to talk to me lol

Where does one acquire a harem of phone answering boys? Asking for a friend.

lol I wish I had a harem. I just have two younger boys - and more recently a younger girl - who I am technically the boss of and the one whose desk is next to mine, I have answer the phone. ^_^ And he's really nice and well behaved, so he does (Neither is unpleasant to look at, either, so that's a bonus... Which randomly reminds me, there was such a cute boy at the register at the Lawson near my hotel today!!! )

lmao no it was around 1-2 PM when I walked through that interesting bit of scenery. And I still took that way back, hahah

LOL I didn't... it was dark already so... no thanks. Also, since that brought me to the back of the rink, with going around the whole construction bit to the front, I think it was longer than the straight forward way lol

 

And currently planning on giving my money to Phiten for the Yuzu set (and use the necklaces as motivation to lose weight, since they'd probably strangle me now...)
