You're Not Welcome

I joined a gym recently. The cheapest option was to elect to go during weekday mornings/afternoons. At this time the gym is full of retirees. During my first visit I got a few dirty looks. After working out I went into the hot tub and everyone made a point of going to the opposite end. They don't like me intruding on their space but they sure are interested in checking out my 'jimbrowski'.

Aila's first Girls Day

March 3 is Girls Day(aka Doll Festival)and May 5 is Boys Day. April 4 is for everything in between. All the decorations in the background were originally for Ayumi and her older sister but are now dedicated to Aila.

Holiday in Cambodia

I loved Cambodia! Amazing sites, fantastic food, friendly people, great weather, cheap beer ... what more can you ask for?

Two weeks flew by but it was enough to see and do what I wanted to.

We're Back!

We arrived back in Japan on February 19th. The kids were pretty well behaved on the flight. Leo had jet-lag for a while but eventually got back into his old routine.

Because it's winter, and the house doesn't have heating, it's bloody cold! It's so cold that you can actually see your breath in the mornings.

In a few days I'll be having a "Holiday in Cambodia". I'm really looking forward to that! I'll post a report when I return.
