Doing Things Yourself
Recently, it seems you need to do many things yourself.
For example, you need to fil your own tank at the gas station.
You need to wash your hair after going to a cheap barber shop.
You need to refill your own water glass at restaurants.
It’s one way to reduce worker’s cost.
On the other hand, there are also activities that are fun to do by yourself. The amusement park “Kizania”, where children can experience various jobs such as a cake shop worker, a doctor and a fireman is very popular
As for my family, we experienced various jobs at a nearby zoo.
We washed goats with a brush
Their hair was coarser than we expected.
We were also able to gather animal droppings with this tool.
It depends on whether you like the jobs or not.
Anyway doing things yourself is in fashion right now.
I am sure you all liked this zoo job very much. Seems great fun. Nice story, Cocomino.
Indeed. Thanks much. Have a great day!
What fun! Your daughters are very brave. Some children are afraid to be near big animals.
Thanks. These animals aren’t very big and my children were able to get closely.
It’s fun.
Life definitely has evolved into doing more things yourself. It seems I am reminded every time I go grocery shopping.
Great experience at the zoo!
Thanks much. I also like going to grocery and find various foods.
It’s exciting to experience by ourselves.
I would happily brush a goat, but I’d rather work in a cake shop … if I may eat everything I make!
That’s good. Of course, my kids prefer to work in a cake shop.
Since “Kizania”キッザニア is very crowded, we have never visited the place.
What a shame.
I guess we are cutting costs in all areas these days, but it would be a shame to see the level of service in Japan drop as it is such a big reason that we love Japan
I see. Certainly, old traditional shops and restaurants still offer good services.
We should remain such culture.
And of course, there is the old saying, “If you want a job done properly, then do it yourself”. A good post theme.
I heard that old saying before. That’s true. It’s important to do it yourself.
Sounds like fun. It would be a good learning experience, especially for kids.
I think so. Kids can learn a lot of things. We should give them a lot of materials.
ヤギのうんこは自分で育てる野菜にとってすてきな自然の肥料ですね！
持って帰りましたか？＾＾
ところで、今週はイタリアに遊びに行きます。
じゃまた来週ですね。
よい夏を〜
ゴミ箱があったので、持って帰れませんでした。確かに、野菜はよく育ちそうですね。
イタリアいいですね。うらやましいです。今は、一番いい時期ですね。
I recently got invited to clean the macaques cage at the zoo as volunteer work. I think it’s also in fashion to get the community involved in things that are usually off access.
How nice. I would like to do such a work. I agree with you. It’s good to know various things.
Interesting story.
Thank you!
Participation by the children is interesting for them.
I think so. It’s educational to participate the various things.
That sounds like an interesting place to have a go at different jobs!
Yes, it must be a fun place. We should visit the place.
Interesting place! Seems like a good learning experience for children also.
Definitely. Thanks a lot.My children learned a lot.
I congratulate you for getting your daughters directly involved in some animal care. Such a great introduction to practicing wordless communication and empathy with God’s creatures!
Thank you so much. I agree with you completely. It’s a good opportunity to learn something.
I loved this zoo, seems it is great fun to visit there… Thank you dear Cocomino, love, nia
Thanks a lot. Glad to hear that.
Have a wonderful day.
This is one fun place where kids could play and learn what it is to work in a adult world. Helps kids discover what they want to be when they grow up. Best wishes to your family.
Thanks. I also think that children can find what they want to be in the future.
It’s a great thing.
I was very surprised to hear about the gas stations. We are used to do-it-yourself here; we had envied the level of service in Japan. But I guess nothing is permanent —
On the other hand, helping out in the zoo to see how it goes first hand and personally — that is a learning opportunity, and who knows? might lead to other involvement with animals.
We used to go to a full service gas stations but now it’s not easy to find it.
It’s important to play with animals, I think.
I definitely agree that doing yourself is in fashion right now. We do everything ourselves here, but from time to time I do miss having a nanny around.
I see. As you say, I hope that good services will remain.
This is a wonderful way to teach children about the difficulties of doing certain jobs. They learn how to do things they may not have thoguht they would have wanted to know. The animals must have been fun for them.
Very nice ….
Thanks much. As you say, it’s nice to know how the animals live and to treat them. It’s also fun.
not a bad idea…
Sure. Thanks.
Ewwww! I would never want to clean the animal droppings XD
The way my hair sticks up sometimes I should probably be using one of those goat brushes, too!
I see. The brush was so hard that you can use it whatever hair.
comical point of view
Thank you for stopping by and comment.
