The bits and pieces
The bits and pieces of my life here sometimes reminds me of my life back in Sapporo, making me miss the good old times. Given that I had already lived in Japan twice, I do not desire to be living back there anytime soon. As it is, I am not originally much of a fanatic over all things Japan. So my moments of nostalgia are usually triggered by a small catalyst, a brief feeling of sadness that all is history, mixed with happiness over that particular memory, and then everything is forgotten in my forgetful little mind.
Just like when I was doing my translation baito for JTB. Was doing a translation on various tourist spots in Sapporo when I came upon Sapporo Parco. And I started thinking about the departmental store and the times that I passed by it.
Although I had came across translation bits on Lake Akan, the recent baito with a simple one sentence on Akan made me remember this wonderful little bakery near the lake.
Kat recently put up a utube video on her blog. It showed people singing 'One Way' in Japanese. This was one of my fav songs back in ICF and there is even a special rhythm to clap in the chorus (unfortunately, this video does not show it). Though I might have some slight issues with some people in church, but it is still a place that holds some of the great memories of my life in Sapporo. Well, Fumie is coming to 'visit' next month and bunking at my room for one week. Can't wait for her to come!!
In the meantime, here is a clearer version of this song:
