A reduction in Noa’s toys

Recently I thought to myself that it seemed that finally Kiko has started storing some of Noa’s old toys (for Noa version 2.0: Kunio-kun) when I couldn’t find a ton of his puzzle pieces and other flat objects.

While I was cleaning the living room I decided to lift the couch and dust.

“Noa had hidden all his flat toys under there, har har har” not quite.

THE ENTIRE FLOOR BENEATH THE COUCH WAS COVERED in an intricate design with every single flat toy or thing he stolen from us all fitting together perfectly.

Not only had he managed to fit everything under there perfectly, but he did so in a manner in which nothing was showing out and that even the middle was filled in.

weird.

Japanese Soccer and Japanese Fruit

Guess where I played soccer this morning!? The Tokyo Dome.

What’s that you ask? It’s like the equivalent of playing at Yankee’s Stadium or something like that. The Tokyo Dome is home to the Yomiuri Giants, which is where Matsui (important to note that Matsui is my best friend) used to play for in Japan.

We had the whole stadium to ourselves and it was pretty exciting.

Tokyo Dome Soccer

I had some cool pictures with the team, but my camera-phone-camera-thingy got all fogged up in the excitement.

Occasionally people ask about Japan. How is it? Is it really as crazy as people say it is? Where is the great wall? Is it really expensive as it is?

Since we don’t really talk much about it here, we decided to show this picture: (can you guess what it is!?)
Japanese Melon

It’s a melon. A cantaloupe. That’s it. Nothing special.
oh wait… if you thought that, you would be WRONG

It’s a muskat melon (??), and if you calculate the two prices on there, it would equal about $120 and $150 Canadian for each of those melons. ONE MELON.

Tastes just like cantaloupe. I settled for an $8 bag of kinkans (kumquat). Wow, I didn’t even know what a kumquat was until right now. I always assumed it was a vegetable. It’s not. It’s a little mini-orange whose skin you eat.
Finally, a big HAPPY WEDDING to my good friend Shin who married his girlfriend of a few years (met in Toronto!), Yukie.

Once again, my camera is foggy, so please be forgiving. Shin, Yukie, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Shin's Wedding

That may or may not be Yoshi in the background.

(Apparently black shirt, black suit, black ties aren’t cool at Japanese weddings.) oops.
