Nihombashi fun with George, Layla & Evan

Photos here.

We started a day with breakfast at Starbucks with fresh out of oven bagels from Maruichi Bagle, George and Evan. Discovered that George and Evan has many people that they knew of through works. Small world.

Then we head out to Nihombashi, checked out new COREDO Muromachi, mainly with food. Then Layla arrived, reunited with her dad while her mom had to leave for her next appointment.

We decided to have lunch at a small restaurant attached to Shimane pref. antenna shop before the lunch crowds show up. Kids had soba, then all shared iPad together. Oh the power of technology...

BTW, we checked in at Mitsukoshi when we arrived at the station to sign up for a food sample craft class performed by the department store. We booked 1p.m. class for all 3 kids, and they made a bento/lunch box sample food. What they did was simply mixing the rice sample, which was already made, with glue, then place other food sample pieces on top of the rice sample. They were very focused and delicately worked on each of their sample. It took about a day to dry it though the finished one's rice looks so shiny you want to eat!

Thank you very much for Layla to hang out with us. We'll see you next summer again and hope to have more time to play with!!

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike , a set on Flickr. After a few rehearsals and meetings in the mornings and evenings, the day of Hula show arrived. She had to go to elementary school in the morning though it's Sat, she left school early so that she could make it just enough to join the photo shooting. She was co-operative, and totally motivated and excited about the show. Her hair, outfit, dresses already left at the stage, got on a taxi, then we got to the venue. They started circle time already, getting ready for lining up for the photo. Then drama happened. I left her with the other girls and went look for her costume at back stage. They were moving around the stuff and I could not find it, had to search each room, then finally her stuff arrived. So I passed it to one of the teachers so that she could put it on to Ton. I went back to the stage, then found Ton crying so hard, came over to me. She insisted on staying with me, not dancing. Uh-oh. So, everybody, other...
