Starbucks [Jiro Maru Store] {Difference between public and private kindergartens} Theme: Gourmet ~ Sawara Ward
It's been a while since I went to Starbucks. There's not much to report, but I went for a relaxing tea time with my husband. Back when we were students, we used to have tea or go to family restaurants together often. I didn't have any feelings towards my husband like I do now. My stomach is big, and we have our child, and I was really disappointed by my friend's behavior when they came over and got drunk. My husband even said to me the other day, "Let me at least kiss you," but I just didn't feel like kissing him at all.
After giving birth and settling down, will I be able to feel like I love my husband as a man again? Of course, I love my husband as a person. He's like family to me, and he's the one I trust and love more than anyone else. Even though we've only been together for 10 years, I'm still worried about the future. I might write about this on my blog, but there are times when I feel like I love my husband, and there are times when I feel empty. I guess that's just human nature.
At the Jiro Maru Store, there is a drive-thru which is convenient. When we went to Fukuoka, we sometimes used the drive-thru. It's nice to have a drive-thru when you have a child who requires attention. On this day, I had a rare Strawberry Frappuccino inside the store, but I regretted not getting a Caramel Frappuccino. It just didn't satisfy me. If it's not coffee, then Matcha is the best in my opinion. Matcha was better than the Strawberry that my husband ordered. The store is conveniently located near Jiro Maru Station, with parking available, which is another plus.
When I was a student, I preferred Coffee House, but now that I have a child, I've become a Starbucks fan due to the drive-thru option. Coffee House has its perks, with a good selection of light meals. I'm sorry to say this, but Starbucks is not the only place I like. Yesterday, I made corn rice with fresh corn, pork belly, cold carrot soup, and a vegetable salad with leftover German potatoes from the day before. My son loved the corn rice. Lately, my son has been staying up late, which is partly my fault, so I tried to put him to bed early yesterday, but he slept until 1 pm. I need to fix our routine.
I inquired about the differences between public and private kindergartens at the nearest public kindergarten. First, in terms of fees, the public kindergarten costs 9,900 yen per month, including 5 days of meals, without a bus service. The private kindergarten costs around 30,000 yen or less per month, including meals (4.5 days a week) and a bus service (with a 4,000 yen subsidy from the city). The public kindergarten does not offer temporary care, while the private kindergarten does. The entrance fees are 11,000 yen for the public kindergarten and around 40,000 yen for the private kindergarten. The public kindergartens all follow the national education policy, while private kindergartens have their own unique approaches. Considering that the nearest public kindergarten offers 2-year and 3-year programs, it takes about 16 minutes one way. When I think about it, private kindergarten is the only option for us.
