Show 728 Saturday 10 May


Watch today's show at YouTube or BlipTV.

During Golden Week some friends came to stay and we took a day trip to Otaru.
On the way we stopped to look at some cherry blossoms.
We also stopped at the beach and looked at the birds and played in the water. It was pretty cold.
In Otaru we climbed up a little tower where we had a nice view of the town.
We saw some people making stuff with glass.
We saw some ducks.
We pumped some water.
We went to the music box shop.
In front of that shop was a clock like the one we saw in Gastown in Vancouver. We waited for ages for it to make a noise ... but it was pretty disappointing. I think it was broken. This is all it did.
We also went to a toy shop and a café and at night we looked at the nice view of the river.
So ... what do my friends think of Otaru?

面白い。
Interesting.

何で面白いの?
Why is it interesting?

あのさー、オルゴールとかさー、いっぱいなんかあってさー、すごい面白い。
Well, there are lots of musical boxes and stuff. They’re really cool.

しかも変わったキャラメルとか色々あるし、
And there are lots of interesting kinds of lollies.

色々あのー、オルゴールとか、マンガとかがあるし ... 色々面白くて、だから面白いの。
There are lots of musical boxes and manga and stuff.
There are lots of cool things, so it’s interesting.
