Nato = yucks

Tuesday

In the morning, I helped Hiraku change into his school uniform. I’ll take a photo of him in his cute school uniform one of these days.

11.30am: went to Bookstore Aoi with mama-san. I bought 2 books.











You don’t get such book covers/wrappers in Singapore when you buy books.

Lunch at Genki Sushi. It’s a kaiten sushi shop (conveyor belt sushi).

This is how it works:
1) Order your food using the touch-screen system (see picture below)










2) Wait for your food to arrive on the conveyor belt. There will be a number plate of your table number on the belt. Take your food which is behind the number plate. You can also take food that are not behind any number plates.

3) Eat your sushi in 1 mouthful.









1 yellow plate of sushi = 105 yen
Chawanmushi and anything on red plate = 157 yen

After lunch (around 1.30pm), we went to Hikaru’s kindergaten. He finishes school at 2.30pm. So while waiting for him, Kanago (a teacher there) and Leo (her husband) brought me around the school. The kids in Japan are so lucky! They don’t really study in kindergarten. Here are some lessons I saw them attend: music, drama, handbell, singing, dance. I bet there are even more than these few. So young already exposed to so many different types of whatever-you-call-it.

Oh, I also watched the kids practise their dance items for their performance on Saturday. I’m going to watch the performance cos Hikaru’s gonna perform too! I can’t wait! :D










The boys dancing some kind of hip-hop.









And the girls with their traditional jap dance.

















The girls keep leaning and sticking to me! Hahaha!

After picking Hikaru up from school, sent him to this private school for lessons. This time, it’s purely the studying type.

In the evening, I stayed at home while mama-san took Hikaru and Haruki to the doctor for Influenza jab. They came home with a sticker on their injection spot on the arm. Haha!

Okonomiyaki for dinner! Vanessa and I ate it in Osaka last time! But the okonomiyaki in Osaka is different from the one in Fukuoka.










Itadakimas!












Kimonos! Cool right?

Try guessing the one below lol.
