| there is also an art museum, but I have never seen it |
Today was nearly a repeat of the day before yesterday. I went to Okinawa Prefectural Museum again today but entered the main exhibit rather than studying in the media center. I made a new friend who was trying to learn English. He was probably a college or high school student, but it was really hard to assess his age. He was from Nagasaki but was traveling on vacation. We exchanged contact information so we could help each other with language learning. He called me お姉さん (oneisan, older sister), which is just a way to refer to a woman a little older than oneself. I have also heard it used by grown women to talk to preteens, though. Sort of like "young lady." The exact usage it hard to explain.

I was tired today so I indulged in one of my favorite energy drinks before going to Jurassic World (3D)!

Only the 3D version was of the movie was dubbed in Japanese, and I wanted to get some listening comprehension work in, so 2D was right out. I learned a couple abbreviations for movie listings.
[字] literally just means letter, but this means the movie is subtitled in Japanese.
[吹] means the movie is dubbed in Japanese.
I didn't realize at Japanese movie theaters you need to bring your own 3D glasses or buy them at concessions for 3D movies. It's kind of a ripoff, but now I have my own clip-on 3D glasses.

The bit about "oneisan" referring to "young lady" is interesting, that's the first time I've heard it used that way.
ReplyDeleteI think clip on 3D glasses are funny. But..I guess now you can keep it for the event you somehow end up in front of a 3D television.
