Warning: Doutor Ahead. Expect A Slow Day.

Just because there was no earthquake today, I didn't go skiing, have a job interview, and I'm posting a picture of a coffee shop, doesn't mean that it was a slow day.

We went to city hall, the post office, met a translator, city hall, lunch, shopping, the mall, (oh yeah, that coffee shop in the picture after lunch) the 100 yen store (much better than the 100 penny store in the USA), dinner, and finally back home.

Whenever we meet her dad for lunch, or J-Pop as I'm going to start calling him, he likes to have coffee afterwards. I'm usually not a big fan of afternoon coffee (or morning coffee for that matter) but this coffee is GOOD. They told me Doutour is a pretty big chain over here. It's pretty small and smoky so it won't be on my list of possible places for private English lessons.

OK, OK, so it was kind of a slow day! :P

P.S. However, tonight is the eve of Setsubun. All I will say is that I'm supposed to hang the head of a sardine outside and maybe a clove of garlic. J-Pop and uhh... J-Ma? won't let me. It has something to do with the potential odor. That's all I can say. I better save the rest for tomorrow, in case it's another slow day.
