Day 1 Kyoto with Koji & Emi

Boys could manage sitting most of the train ride to Kyoto. Riku lost his train tickets, and we had to deal with that at the station, though we could meet up with Koji & Emi! 

For lunch we found a rotating sushi at the station, which everybody sucked into. It was twin boys' very first time rotating sushi! They had 6 plates of omelet sushi each. 

We left our luggages at hotel, then headed to Kiyomizu Temple. It wasn't very crowded, boys could hit a big RIN (iron bowl makes noise) and pray, bought some charms, took pictures, dipped hands in cold waters. 

We had shaved ice at the end which was much needed as the weather was really hot. 

We said bye to Emi &B Koji at Kyoto station, headed back to hotel to check in, which was run "no human" desk. A couple of dinosaurs greet you and you check in with machine. Relaxed at the room for a little, then went out to have dinner at the station gain. Found a small Chinese restaurant, had simple noodle, rice and pot stickers.

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...
