My sweet sweet home
2008-04-02
259 Congressional Tower.
Welcome to my home. Please make yourself at home!
The above is my apartment where I used to live. It was very old. I guess it was about 40-years-old building. It may be more??
Troubles were a frequently occurrence anyway!!
・Choking up the drain.
・The suspension of the water supply, suddenly.
・The faucet in the kitchen came off itself suddenly, and splashed water in my face.
・ Breakdown of the air conditioner..... in a humid summer night.
開かずのエレベーター、突然の断水、鳴り止まない火災報知器、突然、滝のように水が流れ出るダクト... いつ、何が起こるか分からない、気が抜けないアパート、そう、それがコングレ。
Thomas who is a repairman at the apartment helped me every time when I got into a trouble. He was very kind to me. He was really nice guy. I wonder if he is fine now.
I always feel like to take off my socks while I stay at home. One day, when I was cooking in the kitchen in barefoot.....
You know, the situation was exactly barefoot in the kitchen!
I felt something creature ran through on my foot. I was very surprised because.....
The creature was a rat!
ohhh----!!! I screamed! うおおぉぉ--!I still remember the feeling of the rat's foot.
No matter how old the apartment is, I liked to live there because it gave me a lot of friends and precious memories. Thanks Congressional Tower!
Around my apartment
＊Barefoot in the kitchen
異様に足が蒸れている訳ではないんだけど、私は、自宅にいる時にはすぐに靴下を脱ぎたくなる。日本でもアメリカでも。 嗚呼、素足の上を走り抜けて行った、あのネズミの感触は今でも忘れられない...。
最近、Barefoot in the kitchen という言葉をアメリカ人の先生から教えてもらいました。直訳すると「裸足でキッチンにいる。」ことなんだけど。。。
「主婦が外も出ないで一日中家でぐーたらしていること」
というBad termなんだそうだ。（注：ちゃんと聞き取れているかどうか不安なので、アメリカの方が近くにいたら確認し直してください。） 一瞬、自分の事を指しているのかとオモタ。。。Okay! I'll put on a socks right now!
