Marunouchi street

Nobody can tell there once was a time bomb terrorist attach in 1974.

Went to pick up Ton's Japanese passport in the morning. She woke up late, needed to eat breakfast, so we hit Maruichi bagel on the way first. Then took subway to Hibiya, went to passport office, picked up her passport. We walked around International Forum which had antique fair going. Ton tried the tap water machine there. Then she was still hungry, we walked to Marunouchi area where less crowded compared to the other side of this area of Ginza. We had early lunch at Marunouchi Happ. Their toast is amazing. Babies were asleep by then we sit around on the bench arranged on the closed street on the weekend for a while. We left there as both babies woke up, and Ton was tired. Lazy Sunday was ended with a family dinner at Chinese restaurant with Avery&Derek and their mom Chelsea, followed by gelato dessert. Good day.

"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 , 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...
