Gundam Factory in Yokohama

Went to see Gundam before they close for maintenance on May 9. Booked the tour to go close, though Naoya was scared of the noise he wanted to leave in 20 min. It was awesome looking at this huge robot moving for real!

ガンダムを見に横浜へ。5/9からしばらくメンテナンスのため閉鎖になるそうなので、その前に。せっかくだからと近くまで行けるツアーも予約して参加。近すぎて音も大きくて、チビ一人は帰りたいを連呼。動いているガンダムを見れて私はワクワク。周りも年齢高めの大人がほとんどで、皆さんマナーを守って静かに観覧。地上に降りてから休憩したり、展示を見たりしながら、結局3時間ぐらい滞在して、動くガンダムも3バージョン見れて満足。なんだかジーンとしてしまい、ガンダムが目の前にはいるけれど、本当はそんな戦うためのロボットが登場するような未来は必要ないんだよな、そんなことにならないように大人が努力するべきなんだと思った。フィクションのままであって欲しい、この子達のためにも。

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...
