Too much politics lately. Time for something lighter.
Here's what looks like a Japanese game show where the contestants must wake up, get ready for school, and be out the door in less than five minutes. That's just a guess—the only words I understood after "three, two, one, go!" were "bento" and "sandwich." I love it for the reminders of Japan, and for the really cool lunch the mother makes for her child to take to school. Note the Japanese way of quick shirt-folding. Can any of my Japanese-speaking readers (all one and a half of you) tell me what on earth she is doing with the shirt? And why that would be part of a normal morning routine?I never did understand brushing one's teeth before eating, though.
