やっと私のLearning Japanese Podのマグカップが届きました！（嬉しい顔）もっといっぱい注文して、友達にプレゼントとしてあげたいと思います！ リカルドというとても尊敬する友達が、Learn Japanese Podファンの皆さんのためだけに、デザインしてくれました。さーて、日本語勉強しながら、このマグカップで何飲もうかな？
At last, my new Learn Japanese Pod mug has arrived. (Happy face) I was pretty happy with the results so I want to buy more as presents for my friends. This cute logo was done my friend Ricardo who is made of pure win and awesome when it comes to design. So the next question is, what shall I drink with this new mug while studying Japanese?
In today’s podcast, Yuki and Daniel teach us the meaning of ずるやすみ – zuruyasumi – or “skipping work”. You would have thought that in a country with a strong work ethic like Japan, this kind of phrase wouldn’t exist. Yuki proves to us that we are wrong again.
Today’s Fun Friday edition of Learn Japanese Pod was recorded at the A to Z cafe in Omotesando in Aoyama. I was joined by Jim and Sandra of Japandra fame.
The walls of the A to Z cafe are adorned with drawings by the artist Yoshitomo Nara and they even have a mock up of his studio.
We also talked about the renovation of Kabukiza and old theatre in Higashi Ginza which has daily Kabuki shows popular with fans and tourists. This led us on to the topic of the Tokyo Marathon as Jim took part and ran past Kabukiza. We gave a shout out to Joseph Tame who podcasted his marathon run. We mentioned Run Keeper which is a great iPhone app and time keeper for athletes.
