2nd Day in Gunma

Lots Going On in Gunma

We woke up early and Ayako drove me to palm reader.
I went to see a fortuneteller in July or August and had a really bad experience.
At that tie the fortuneteller yelled at me and told me what I did not want to hear.
However, when I think about it now, she was not that wrong.
Actually some of things she told me at that time really happened to me now.
Anyway, I was so afraid of going to see a palm reader, but she said he was good so I decided to go.
Actually he is a Buddhist priest.
He was not a strict one at all.
Some of the stuff he told me surprised me but interesting.
He wrote out lines on a hand and explained.
He could read my palm and see that I am wondering which of three ways I should go now, to keep working for my dad, changing job, or going to the US.
Of course he could not tell me what exactly I was wondering about, but he could see that I was wondering among three things.
See? The three lines on my hand. (One with a ring)
He explained everything and I understood everything.
What he told me actually encouraged me.
I don’t rely on him, and don’t believe in everything what he said, but keep what he said in mind would help me, I think.
He said that I am going to get married next year and will have 3 kids, 2 girls and 1 boy.
He was confident about it, so we’ll see, hahaha.

Ayako and I went to a department store and took a picture in heart.
I don’t know what it was but seems like it was a photo spot, so we took a picture.

On the way back to Ayako’s house, we had bread with Miso, which is bread famous for Gunma.
It was yummy!!
Also we had chocolate, almond and banana crape.
We ate too much.

And after we went back I had dinner with Ayako’s family again.
This is a picture which Ayako took.
Me with Boo.
I left Ayako’s at 10 in this evening and took a bullet train to Tokyo for tomorrow.
I have work in Tokyo tomorrow again.
Now I am in a business hotel washing TV.
What a nice weekend I had!
Ready to go to work tomorrow.

Expo in Tokyo and Fun in Gunma

Tokyo and Gunma Trip

I just got back from Tokyo to home yesterday morning, but I left home to Tokyo again early this morning.
It is just one-hour flight from Osaka to Tokyo, but still it is a lot of work for me.
I put all my stuff in a locker at the station in Tokyo.
Since I am not good at remembering which “coin locker” I used, I took a picture to remember where.

I had to help with exhibiting at food expo in Tokyo.
It was actually fun though.
It was hard to stand from 9:00 to 5:30 whole time, but I could talk with many people and fun to sell cakes I produced.
There were not many sales women or talkative girl who has strong Osaka accent, so I became pretty famous at the convention center.
This picture is one of products we exhibited at the expo.
Tarts for Quiche, very good stuff.

After this expo, I took a bullet train to Gunma to see my friend, Ayako.
She is one of my good friends whom I have known since I went to DU.
And this is “Boo”, a pug she has.
What a cute doggie.

Gunma is sort of countryside of Japan, so pretty different from Osaka or Tokyo.
People, landscape, food and culture are different, and it is a part I like to visit there.
Ayako’s family is so nice and warm.
They serve so much food at dinner whenever I visit.
Tonight, Ayako’s brother’s family, Ayako’s friends were there too.
9 of us had dinner all together and it was like a party.
Ah, I ate too much again till midnight.
Uhhhh bad for my health but it was such a nice night.
