Out and about to a dinosaur exhibition (wisely took earplugs, sunglasses etc.) and somehow came home with a fresh set of pajamas.
Yes, the sound of dinosaurs roaring, absolutely terrified children, the staff directing people with megaphones & above it all, cranked happy music. Not sure who designed the concept but kinda weird cause scary for most kids.
There was a “stamp rally” where (for an extra 300 ¥, can get a booklet to collect stamps at some stations.
Of course we did that (and did the extra charge to ride around on some electric dinosaur (after a tiny lap =, they were waving us in so i ignored and rolled a few more – i mean i try to be cognizant of the cultural norms but there is a limit. I guess.
For me scariest part was being in a convention centre thinking about the hundreds of weekends, I lost toiling at this for various companies overseas… Lack of fresh air/sunlight, crappy food/coffee, general worthlessness of the endeavours.
Was held at one of those convention centers governments build in the middle of nowhere to try to build economic opportunity and fail miserably for the most part… *grand* staircases and unnecessary “sculpture” / but I just want a nice coffee shop and a shady quiet spot #sigh
Strangely, I just stepped out from this convention center with the dinosaur thing to try to find a coffee and in one of the smaller exhibition halls there is kind of a trunk sale of clothes and I found a nice pair of pyjamas. You know I always need a new set of pyjamas.
Re: new Pjs So thrilled / easy breezy cloth for hot humid summers & tailored enough to lounge around in without revealing too much :) just a few small details make a pair of pyjamas much more "presentable/acceptable" for stepping out into the yard or over to the in-laws without causing anyone a bit of embarrassment/shock
I am home and in my new pajamas and in my natural environment of a cool dark room with water and various medications / yeah, it’s quite a life but hey, I was out and about with my lil family which is key even if not fantastic. Right?
Bonus: i think this kiddo’s t-shirt is a message from the universe to me:
Another kid’s T-shirt with “random English” said – like a message to me: “do it for your future self”
I would tattoo this but then I can’t go to the Hot Springs
