Wife, please write a blog about watches once in a while. . .
I went to work for the first time in a while! !
It's my wife! !
This past week, my husband went on a business trip to Osaka.
The Fukuoka store was closed because most of the store's products were taken to Osaka.
What was my wife doing during that time?
(Ah, don't you want to ask?)
My husband's sister's family came all the way from Hiroo in Tokyo to visit us.
I was providing family services when my husband was away! ! (My husband is away...(lol))
She's my husband's older sister,
I have a lot of respect for you...
First of all, I am fluent in three languages (Japanese, English, and Arabic),
My husband is Tunisian, and after we got married, I converted to Islam.
Currently, she is a mother of three children (boys ages 1, 5, and 11).
She is a superwoman who lives in Hiroo and raises three children while also doing work such as translation.
I always wear a hijab (head scarf) and speak English with my husband.
He doesn't look 100% Japanese...
My friends even ask me, ``How many older sisters does your husband have?''
(There's no way my husband's sister is a foreigner (lol))
Well, our favorite family is coming to visit us in Fukuoka, so our family is having a blast! !
I don't think many people know about it, so
Learn a little about Islam.
Living in Japan, there are not many Muslims, so the biggest problem is food.
Basically, pork and alcohol are strictly prohibited.
Also, meat other than pork, such as domestically produced meat or meat from Asia, is prohibited.
Items from America, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe are OK.
(There are differences in the slaughter method.)
These strictly prohibited foods are called "Haram."
I have to choose a product that does not contain haram in its raw materials.
Commonly used in cooking, not only sake, but also mirin, consommé, soy sauce, mentsuyu, etc.
Most are NG foods.
Furthermore, children's favorite gummies, chewing candies, sweets, etc.
Gelatin, Western liquor, and emulsifiers are not allowed, so there are not many options.
Even when I go out to eat, it's hard to find something edible.
In Fukuoka, I served almost three meals by myself! !
First, start with the ingredients and seasonings you can buy at the supermarket.
My husband doesn't like Japanese food or seafood, so we just bought all the ingredients at imported food stores and Costco (lol).
The food I ate was homemade hamburgers and (minced beef chunks were only available domestically).
Nagashi Somen, (the noodle soup is homemade. My husband makes pasta (lol))
BBQ etc.
We all ate happily.
Other than food...
Salat (prayer) is performed five times a day at set times.
Adults and children should perform together, always facing the direction of Mecca.
Japanese people are not very familiar with Islam, but
I often think that's a wonderful idea...
For example, women are prohibited from showing their hair and skin to anyone outside of their family.
It seems like she gets her hair done and looks fashionable only in front of her husband at home.
In Japan, we look fashionable when we go out, but at home... (lol)
It's too romantic to show off your most beautiful face just in front of your husband.
What I thought was the most wonderful thing was
To care about others more than yourself.
Of course it's about people close to you, but
In Islam, there is the idea of giving to the poor.
My sister-in-law's family also prepares and donates a large amount of clothes every year.
There are many different ways of thinking about this, but I think it's a really wonderful idea.
Well, I had a lot of fun in Fukuoka with my sister-in-law and her family! !
Stayed at my house for 3 nights and 4 days,
I went to the river in a place called Nakanoshima Park,
Have a barbecue on the beautiful beach at Imajuku Seaside Park,
Have fun at the Sunshine Pool, a popular summer pool for Fukuoka residents,
Go to the outlet mall...
Above all, it was a very satisfying four days to see the smiling faces of the children having fun.
Especially when you can enjoy a barbecue with the whole family while watching the sunset over the sea.
It was an extremely delicious and happy time...
(My husband is away...(lol))
Well, my skin was completely refreshed, so much so that it turned black.
Starting today, we will be back in the store! !
Thank you all for visiting my wife's blog again! !
