Today started with an amazing optional bonus class- Offensive Expressions for Japanese Interaction, a play on the title of one of our textbooks (Formal Expressions for Japanese Interaction). Indeed, we learned how to swear! While I don' t plan on using these expressions myself, I'm happy to be able to understand them if anyone uses them in my vacinity. The afternoon consisted of errands including the post office, ward office, and the grocery store. There are three grocery stores near our apartment, but the biggest one is Inageya, about a half mile away. The Yokohamaya has slightly better prices on veggies, but they don't have much selection in other goods, and My Basket is only two blocks away, but is relatively small so we mostly go there for quick pick ups. Above is the store, located on the first floor of a large apartment building. A yakitori cart (grilled chicken) is usually parked out front, and a small post box is at the left foreground.
