Memoire of Japan #2

<<<シリーズ第二弾>>>

トヨタの工場見学に行きました。
We joined a factory tour at Toyota ( Toyota started its business in our prefecture in Japan).


工場の中は撮影禁止のため、これはショールームでパチリ。
Photos are forbidden in factories. These pictures are taken in the show room.


こちらは愛知の実家の近くのシニア・ケアハウスの庭にある小さな動物園。いつも愛知にくると、ここにきて馬や山羊に会いに来ます。

This is a tiny zoo kept by a senior residential facility, close to where my parents live. Every time we visit my parents, we come here to greet these horses, goats, bunnies and ducks.


この日は、近くのモールにスタジオ・ジブリの最新作「借り暮らしのアリエッティ」を見に来ました。娘のTシャツもトゥイーティーなのがわかるかしら?

On this day, we went to see the latest Studio Ghibli's animation movie, "Karigurashi no Arietti." There is Tweety on her T-shirt too. Can you see?


「何が食べたい?」と聞かれて、「カニ、カニ、カニ!」と叫び続けていた娘のリクエストでかに屋へ。
Somehow my daughter was obsessed with crabs (to eat). So my parents took her to a crab specialty restaurant.


娘はひたすらタラバガニをたらふく食べる。
In front of her is a bowl of boiled Taraba Crabs. She was happy.


ここからは、ばあちゃん、私、娘の女3人バスツアー。長野へ。
From here, it's a bus tour we, three girls (my mom, me and my daughter), did. They took us to Nagano prefecture.


恵那山の頂上へ。
This is the top of the mountain in Nagano.


動物がいれば娘は上機嫌。
Where there are animals, she is happy.
