Japan: Inagekaigan Hari 2012-07-2 日本語も


Have you ever had acupuncture?
針をしましたか?

Working at Tokyo Disney Sea, I often had to overexert myself physically just to match product demand. People would be lining up for drawings before we even opened in the morning and there were many times when the wait time was over three hours…that's right, three HOURS! x_x;
Most of the thrill rides have wait times that long, but for a simple drawing? They really like their drawings! ^_^

デイズニーシーの仕事中は難しいでした。。。
朝からお客様が多いでした!
本当にときどき三時間が待てました。
時間?!! x_x;
びっくりしたよ!!
みんなさん絵が大好きだからね? ^_^


Drawing endlessly for 40-50 hours a week caught up with me pretty quick, and my muscles and joints became increasingly more painful and stiff. My coworker, Gamini, lived out in a quiet suburban village in Chiba and recommended an acupuncturist/physical therapist there. Being 20-30 minutes from Tokyo, the doctor was more reasonably priced than some in the city and had an affable and earnest demeanor that was endearing. Despite the shock-white hair that perfectly matched his scrubs (and socks, because no shoes in the clinic, thanks) he was an energetic young gent at a spritely 70 or 80 years young. During the massages that would accompany the acupuncture, he would often climb atop the table and dig his big toes into knots in my shoulders with deft dexterity and surprising agility.
