Travel sweet

When I'm coming back in the bullet train "Hokuriku Shinkansen" I heard of an announcement of the food service in the train. I'm very much attracted by "the limited sales only here" and it's one of my favorite Gorojima sweet potato into Icecream. I made it as the last memorable moment of my trip. It's a very Sweet Memory.

Tattoo and fashion

How do you think of wearing tattoo?
Have you ever thought of wearing tattoo?
I think many elder Japanese never want to wear tattoo nor think it fashionable.
But there're many people from the young to old wearing tattoo as fashion like wearing clothes.

It's very helpful for mothers to join the kids support class even paying a fee.
We went to the dance class which she sometimes joined with Jace before giving Emmie. But it was hard for her taking him with a new born baby.

Garden birthday party

There was a birthday party of Jace's cousin at the resort hotel garden with 8adults and 6 kids including 2babies. They can't do it inside because too noisy and busy kids. It was very nice temperature in autumn but needed jackets outside.
I saw a lot of native kangaroos around the green which is resort golf course. The huge green and blue views were excellent beautiful like a paradise.

We went to the city of Perth on the train. It's the center of the city with high tower building and very busy not like in the suburb where they live.
Jace likes to get on a bus or train very much. He enjoys riding vehicles very much.

What's communication?

When I hear about her my heart goes back to my teenager's which was innocent and curious about what it would be in the future. This lady Kaoru Kanetaka was very adorable for me and I was dreaming about traveling in the world like her in the future.

What's this?

There are a lot of different life style from Japan here in Australia. They're competitively bigger than ours because of larger country and space less population than ours. Much sunlight in all season makes creatures big!
Everything people, houses, furnitures, flowers are so massive.
I think Japanese are so pretty, compact and charming as well as skillful.
There're some interesting things never seen in Japan.

Shopping

Mothers need help to do a lot of works. Otherwise they went crazy or crash themselves by a kind of
"infant care blue". My daughter really was almost depressed inside home without doing for herself. She enjoys to do what she wanted to do now.

Pirate park

Children like playing. And they need to play outside. But it's mostly dangerous without guardians. So parents who have small kids under preschool need places to go out and playing with kids. There are some good play grounds in the neighborhood where my daughter used to take Jace.

Two months birthday

I spent the first day at my daughter's house with all her family . I brought a lot of stuff to make my grandson Jace joyful and pleased, which my daughter requested me. The Shinkansen train " Yellow Doctor " is the most of his favorite. He likes to run the trains on the railroad. He also likes playing toys such as plastic vegetables or drawing by color pencils. I wanted to show origami and made him "throwing star" but it's a bit hard and early for him.

The other grandkid, Emmie has been two months birthday yesterday. She seems to grow faster than the first baby. She can talk to me and smile so cute!

They're personified in a fairy story.
