病気になったの私 (The sick me)

先週の日曜日から、風邪を引いたんです。だんだんよくなっていくのは良かった!一昨日、日本語のクラスまた新年に始まりました。皆さん、今年も宜しくお願いしますね。

(For the past week from Sunday onwards, I caught a flu. But I'm glad that I am getting better day by day. The day before yesterday, my Japanese class started in this new year. Hi everyone, let's have wonderful memories this year too!)

クラスのトピクは昔の経済のこと(バブル時代)なので、ちょっとつまらない。でも、面白いことに、先生は「あの時代はとてもおかしい、皆がクレージーの状態に込んだ」と言いました。例えば、高校生は手に十万円のお金を振って、タクシーを呼べました。もう一つの面白いこと、文に「バブル景気」があり、聞くと、「バブルケーキ」のイメージを想像して、心の中に笑っています。

(This time, the topic for my class is the olden days' economic in Japan, referring to the Bubble economic that once happened in Japan. Because, the topic is about economics, it's slightly boring. But, teacher shared with us something interesting. During the bubble economy, those years were weird and everyone was in a crazy state. For example, high school students taking 10,000 ¥  notes in their hand to call for taxi. Another thing which I think was funny was the word [baburu keiki], hearing the word sounds like [bubble cake] and I find myself imaging how a bubble cake would look like. LOL!)

宿題の質問は「本屋へ行く旅に、______」です。先生の答えは「本屋へ行く旅に、トイレに行きます」。先生の説明は日本人が本のにおいがすると、トイレへ行きたくなります。あるクラスメイトは「ええ?どうして?本のにおいはトイレペーパー似ているから?」と冗談しました。先生は「何でかな?」ともう一度考えると、インクのせいかなと言いました。別のクラスメイトが日本人に聞きました。その日本人は「それは本当なら、日本の本屋さんのお手洗いは、いつも長い列が出来ているはずなのに、実際は空いています。じゃ、どこでその人達は用を足すのですか」と質問しました。皆さん、どう思う?

(There is such question on our homework, [Every time when going to the bookstore, _________]. Teacher's answer was [Every time when going to the bookstore, I would go to the toilet]. We were like "Really??? Why?" Teacher explained that when Japanese smelt the smell of the books would have the feeling of going toilet. One classmate joked that if it was because the smell of the books is the same as toilet paper. Lol!! My teacher then says that it might be because of the ink on the books that make Japanese having the urge to go toilet. Another classmate asked another Japanese friend. That friend said that if that's true, the toilet should have a long queue, but in fact, the toilet has empty cubicles, then, where are the people who went to the toilet. Hmm, how does anyone think about this?)

Yesterday, I did the most ridiculously thing. I threw away my colleague's dinner, thinking it was mine. We have the same takeaway box and red plastic bag. After finishing my dinner although I did not finish everything, I went to buy drinks. Then, I realized that I had forgotten to throw my dinner box. Then, I just threw the box away, not knowing that it was my colleague's one. OMG!!! I know I'm very bad for laughing after I realized the mistake, but the whole thing was extremely funny and I laughed till my stomach hurts. I think I'm damned blur yesterday as I still having flu. In the end, I treated my colleague McFlurry ice-cream as she did not want me to treat her dinner. Sorry!!! ;>_<;
