もがけ!駐妻!!

Japanese Wife's Adventure in the U.S.

Good Relationship from a Solo Trip

  We met in Yangon, Myanmar. We had each big backpack  in the bus terminal, and our first conversation was “Would you keep your eye on my backpack for a while?” from her. That was on the way to my second destination called Bagan where there are a lot of pagodas (historical and small temples).

  At first, we made just small talk like the weather, something about home countries which are Korea and Japan, etc. After arriving at Bagan, we parted for each hotel but I didn’t think I would be friends with her even though we exchanged each contact information because we didn’t talk a lot. However, fortunately, we met again by chance since Bagan is a small village; additionally, the next destination was the same, Nyaungshwe. Gradually, we got closer little by little. One thing I knew afterwards was that she also hesitated to talk with me for the first time.

  That trip taught me how interesting making friends is and the importance not to hesitate to do that.

Easter Sunday is almost Coming!

  I found an exciting advertisement on instagram. That is from my favorite dessert shop which is the first bar of mousse in the U.S. The news is they are planning a special menu for this Easter Sunday collaborated with another Belguian restaurant. Actually, they are delivering for hospitals in order to make the staff be relaxed by their dessert, and their job until now has impressed me a lot.

  I decided to order their special menu for my happiness and express my gratitude to them. I can’t stop waiting for the dinner!!

Our coordination on this Saturday

 

Happy items, Cake and Flowers

  Recentry, I’m not sure when I started doing but maybe after the lockdown, I’ve been thinking about people who are still working in NY. In my understanding, all of them are working for us, which means they are working to protect our lives and happiness.

  Of course, I’m grateful to people who work to protect our health such as doctors, nurses and staff in pharmacies. Meanwhile, I really appreciate people who still work in supermarkets, cafes, delivery and transportation industries etc. Thanks to them, we can manage our lives without worries.

Paris Baguette's Cake

 

Do You Believe in Angels?

  This is an unforgettable question I’ve been asked. This was from a man sitting next to me in the airplane while returning to NY from London last November. I felt a little scared and answered, “Sorry, I’m not a religious person.” “I don’t have any answers about your question.” I forget when our conversation began but after several minutes, I enjoyed talking with him. I talked about the reason I live in NY, my memories of farm stay in Kentucky etc.

  After explaining my passion to restart practicing the piano, he decided to give his wife’s piano that is memorable to me. I was astonished at his unbelievable proposal. It wasn’t in a movie but a reality which happened to me.

  Now, I enjoy playing the piano, and we keep in touch with each other.

What can Extinguish the Fire?

  This is about food. If a meal is too hot, what do you add into it? Sugar? Honey? Yes, they can work. But today, I want to say thank you to eggs. Most meals I’ve ordered for dinner last night were too hot, especially for my husband, and some of them were leftovered.

  In my opinion, breakfast is supposed to be the most comfortable so I put eggs into one of them in order to make their taste milder. Of course, my husband was pleased to eat the milder meal.

Thanks eggs!
