Sep. 11 (Sat) TV

2004-09-12 | Weblog
Today I went to Wal-Mart and bought a room lamp and TV. I really wanted them so I'm very satisfied.
TV has a function of closed caption. Closed captioning displays text on the screen. I think it helps to improve my listening comprehension ability and increase colloquial expressions. Now I'm watching "IRON CHEFF". As you can easily guess, this program is "料理の鉄人". This program seems to be popular here. Some foreigners told me about it.

After Wal-Mart, I went to an oriental supermarket. I found many Japanese food, new flavors of Pokky and so forth. Mmm I miss Japanese snack.

Sep. 10 (Fri) climate

A climate here is really dry. For my friend from California the climate here is humid. But I never get sweat even though I walk a long distance. In Japan during summer I wiped and wiped sweat from my face but never stopped. It was terrible. So I'm happy that I don't sweat here!

I got two pimples on my chin! My face is dry skin so I hardly had pimples before. But in a few days since I moved here, I got TWO. It's surprising. Maybe because food and water are different from Japanese ones.
