Fude Japan (Makeup brushes from Japan)

Hi Everyone,

We are in the middle of a three-day weekend in Japan. Having my own business, holidays are not as valuable as when I was employed.

One reason is that I cannot ship. FedEx and DHL do not operate on holidays.

Speaking of packing and shipping, it requires concentration. Part of the reason is that I ship not only brushes but also makeup. Each has a different shape, and it takes time to wrap each product.

I don’t continue the same work for long hours. I talk to makeup brands after wrapping and packing for a while. This helps me maintain concentration effectively.

I also change locations for computer work. I rent a small office, but I also go to coffee shops. There are several cafes in my neighborhood.

One place has 250 yen (1.70USD) iced coffee, therefore it is crowded during the day.
So I go in the evening. It wasn’t my favorite place initially, but I am starting to like it.

I have a reason.

Once, when I sat next to a window, I found myself next to an old lady who may be around 90 years old. As I always spent time with my grandmother when I was a boy, I have a fondness for grandmothers.

I wondered why she was there. I see her quite often. For the first half hour, she came and sat without ordering anything, then she moved. Eventually, she ordered a cup of coffee with bread.

Sometimes her friend comes. While I am typing, I listen attentively. They may be friends, but they always discuss a product she or her family buys. Perhaps she is being deceived.

Thinking about these things makes me lose my concentration…

But yes, she needs someone to talk to… 

I haven’t seen her pay for anything, so maybe I am overthinking…

Well…..

To be honest, I am already looking forward to going to that cafe again.

Thank you for reading!
