When I think back on those experiences, I realize how far I've come...

Suddenly, I remembered Akawin Deck... 🥺

Today, there are no water bottles to wash!!! 🙌🎉

This is the most moving sign I've seen recently.

Japanese does not have spaces between words, so the longer the text, the less legible it becomes. Furthermore, in client layouts that specialize in short sentences, the number of lines increases, making it even more difficult for the eye to follow.

Once I have gone through the process of translating my thoughts into English, I feel a bit calmer. I can quietly put away things that I don't need to say 😌

I took my kids to the library. While I was there, I picked up a book about foreign labor employment and another about Vietnam. And of course, a book about banh mi 😋

Autumn leaves, blue skies, and coffee bought at a convenience store. My kids are playing in the park. It's wonderful to be able to casually drink freshly brewed coffee for under a dollar.

When English sentences are translated automatically, emojis sometimes end up in strange positions. I just realized that this may be because I'm trying to express an emotion at the end of a sentence, but the translation engine is treating the emoji as a single word 🤔

In Japan, November 23rd is a national holiday, so we have a three-day weekend. Tomorrow is Labor Thanksgiving Day, so I'm going to give myself a pat on the back for working...while taking care of my kids 😂
