The team Kuroda can survive the snow in Tokyo with these head gears and the octopus scurf.

Coffee break at Isetan Shinjuku

Cafe Latte and Green Tea Crème Brûlée. Sweet for grown ups.

Ramen at Bia Bia

Food adventure at Bia Bia in Higashi Koenji. Run by a Persian guy who's been in Japan for 24 years, in Ramen industry for 12 years. Very light soup with thin noodles.

Belated company Christmas lunch

Nice and big lunch at Ruth's Chris.

Playing with snow at park and break afterwords

After a vote for Tokyo governor, we went on to Arisugawa park where still had lots of snow. Kids somehow started snow ball fight with a couple of other British dads there, luckily they didn't mind my kids slowing snow balls at them constantly, found an igloo somebody built, making snowmen, etc. Spent about a couple of hours, then one of Ton's class mates showed up. They played a little with snow, then we moved on to a cafe to have a break. Mo enjoyed mom's cafe latte, while his sister was playing a card game with her friend.

Cookies with carob chips

Tried carob chips instead of the real chocolate chips. It doesn't taste different to us, and off course kids thought those were choco chip cookies.

Snow snow snow

Busy day in snow. Taiko - quick lunch - Ton ice skating with papa, Mo walking back home with mama. It took us about 2 hours in total to walk back home as we had a couple of breaks on the way back.
