pretty posh pancakes

We the tweemees have the glamorous advantage of living next to a japanese food supplies store.
Since I decided that my new passion would be learning japanese (yeah, please laugh at me and my genki-des-ka),
I walk in there at least once a week, looking for something little and fun and then try to bring up all my guts to have
a japanese conversation about how much I´d have to pay and wishing them a nice day.
I haven´t made it yet. Too nervous and all discouraged when the shop assistant talks to me in german before I have even started my attempt.
I love japanese products. Little illustrations everywhere, everything talks or has a face.
So as we stumbled upon the pancake package, that showed a smiling bowl with smirking eggs and happy flour, I wanted it,
no matter how it tasted or despite the fact that the content was mere flour, sugar and baking powder.
Gimme that laughing pancake!
Making them was very easy, just pour one medium egg, 100 ccl milk and one sachet of the powder into a (hopefully smiling) bowl
and mix it up.
Then heat a pan (without oil), take a ladle and put the mixture into the pan.
Wait for about 20-30 seconds, then turn it around.
After another 15-20 seconds take it out and try to eat it as hot as you can with some chocolate cream or honey or syrup on it.

Dont worry, you arent alone with that feeling. Worse than that when they mistaken you as japanese they would speak to you without having any second thoughts about it. And I felt bad because I didnt understand and I ended up staring at them for a few seconds until they realize I aint one of them and started talkin in German instead.
They are friendly people so dont worry…
Gambatte!!! Neri-chan!!

You are right, I never thought of that!
My biggest fear is saying something unpolitely. I better add three “o”s to a word…

Greetings are simple, but once you want to engage into a conversation, better think of what to say before you get inside the store. I always do that but sadly I wasnt brave enough to try to speak to them. I feel small.

Hey start watching anime again with english subs, it really helps a lot… And its fun most especially when you are watching one of your favorite series.
I’d recommend you something funny, I just have no idea if you already know about it.
