jessicainjapanFor once I've been really busy instead of really lazy at updating.
It's gotten cold enough for consistently turning on the heater, but that doesn't save you if you go to Disney.
All day long.
In the cold.
In my defense, I only planned to stay at Disney for the daylight hours since my coat wasn't designed for more than looking classy in somewhat fall temperatures. The friend I went with wanted to enjoy Disney until it closed, however. So we stayed past nightfall and slowly I began to freeze to death while surrounded with small children.
Long story short, I caught a cold. Again. I had to take a day off work for the worst of it and now I'm just muddling through life while hearing everything at half volume and feeling like I'm breathing through a straw. :C
My cold aside, I wanted to make an interesting observation!
I had always been taught that "omiyage" (お土産) were presents that you brought for your superiors. Everyone I spoke to was always vague on what sort of presents might be expected, but finally I have learned the truth: omiyage are just snacks that particular places are famous for. You go to a place, you buy snacks and bring them back to give away. End of story, mystery solved.
You're welcome.
Now to go and nap through the last two hours of work today with my eyes open.
