Anti-spill Coffee To go

This one has been a busy week...that's why the post for Wednesday and the days thru Sunday, have been posted only now...

We had some unannounced test on wednesday and i had to study all at the last minute. The test didn't go well, but i will have time to catch up. Chinese people seems not to have difficulty to keep up. I think their advantage is anyhow limited...as sometimes they know how to write "Car" because they know the sign (Kanji), but they don't know how to pronounce it... is kind of an odd thing, but nevertheless, they have an advantage.

We, foreigners, have been excempted from the Kanji Test. I wonder why, maybe they feel it's too difficult for us...so, here we go! I asked the school to include me in the daily testing. It means i need to keep up with 9 new kanji a day. Let's see ;)

So, to manage the brain load, i bought a Milk-Coffee (cafe-o-re). This shop has an interesting think. If you look at the picture above, you can see that the opening of the cup, is sealed using the spoon (see below). It's the first time i see this trick. Normally other coffee shops, they put a sticker on the opening so that on your way to work or school, you don't spill it. Really useful! :)
