Yay? Not so much, it looks like it will be quite the horror trip, stuck in a completely unheated old Japanese house in a small suburb with my mother-in-law, her husband, grandmother-in-law, grandfather-in-law, brother-in-law and his girlfriend, and of course my husband for 2 weeks. And my husband's family is not exactly an easy family to get along with.
Do you know how pleasant it is to bath in the same bathing water 7 people have used before you each day? Not even talking about how you get zero privacy with 8 people sharing 2 bedrooms. And did I mention it is completely unheated? Like, you get minus degrees in the house each night and also during the day on cold days? And I can already see my mother-in-law constantly urging me "Talk Japanese! Talk Japanese!" every 5 minutes, like she is already doing every time I come visiting her and meet one of her Japanese employees. I can't speak Japanese by the way. I can understand a few chunks out of a very simple conversation, I can translate simple texts with the help of a dictionary, but my Japanese knowledge is far from allowing me to follow the details or even join a conversation in any way.
Not happy about this this, but at least now I have something to look forward to during this trip. Before we head off to freezing family-hell I will be going to a Plastic Tree concert again. ♥
I got my confirmation for the tickets today.
Last year I was supposed to go to the very same end-of-the-year-concert but it got canceled like 2 days before the concert. X.x And if something like this happens again I will probably kill someone.
lol sorry - total gemein, aber ich mußte grad sooo lachen. wenn so viele menschen auf kleinem raum schlafen wirds warm ;) aber du tust mir schrecklich leid. pack schöne dicke lange unterwäsche ein und vielleicht so heat packs? oder ne wärmedecke *grübel* das wär auch für mich der totale horror - in kälte kann ich null schlafen. gegen die menschliche kälte kannst du dich nur mental wappnen und laß es einfach an dir abprallen
ReplyDeleteherzliche grüße,

Oh Gott du Ärmste! Was sind das denn für geile Schwiegereltern?! Du kannst doch die Sprache sprechen, die du sprechen möchtest! Dein Mann spricht doch mit dir auch deutsch oder?
ReplyDeleteIch wünsche dir aber ne Menge Spaß beim Konzert! Und den Rest übersiehst du einfach ;)
Na ja, wenigstens kannst du in Japan einkaufen. ^^;
