Ambassador of Lithuania




My mum goes to Lithuanian Embassy in Azabu these days to teach Japanese again,
but this time to His Excellency the Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania.

As far as I’m concerned, I have a bit of a problem.
My mum sometimes has lessons during lunch time there as the Ambassador is too busy to study in the morning. She gets home at about 2.30, and then gives me my lunch – I’m starving to death!

Well, er . . . studying Japanese without lunch, the Ambassador is so brave!
Mmmm, I wonder if I’m selfish a bit.

“I’m home! Pippyyyy . . .”
“Ah, Mum, hello!”

“Listen, Pinot! The Ambassador told me, last week he visited the Imperial Palace for the Ceremony of the Presentation of Credentials,” she said and continued, “You know Pinot, during the presentation of credentials of a newly appointed ambassador, it happens that the ambassador will be driven to the Imperial Palace in a horse-drawn carriage.”
“Oh, that one, I sometimes saw in London for important ceremonies?”
“That’s right. The Ambassador said that was his first time . . . er . . arriving in a horse-drawn carriage.”
“Mmmm. Impressive! Romantic! Well, I don’t know anything about Lithuania, but it’s a beautiful country, isn’t it?”
“Absolutely!”
“Um . . . Mum, you know something? I’m getting hungry.”
“Me, too,” replied my mum.
