It could only be Cloud in Japan

Sunrise view
With a little more sun, we see a cemetery right down there.
-
Hotel guest laundry in the US does not have manga.
-
Cloud slaving away Monday morning at Starbucks while the wife and daughters are getting nail and eyelashes and eyebrows done.

New Year’s Eve lunch with the entire family. The two nephews had to sit with Motoko and me.

Didn’t remember to take the picture until most of the food was taken off. The strings is shredded daikon (radish). It was full of crab sashimi.

After lunch we split up all the kids went off to Ikebukuro to shop. All the adults went separate ways.
Motoko and I eventually ended up in Ikebukuro also for dessert.
Then she wanted to go shopping, saw a police box along the way.
-
Then headed back to the in-law’s
Realized I forgot to buy something to drink and walked to 7-11. It was dead out at 6:30
-
Waited for midnight to hit. My girls did not make it.
Only the adults.
-
Sleeping arrangements while we are here.
-
Killed time being lazy until just afternoon.
-
Motoko’s older brother showed up with his family.
Then we walked to a shrine for new year’s blessings.
-
Prayed and then drew fortunes.
Hanna got a dai-kichi which is the best fortune.
Finally a group photo. We took turns taking so I only have the one I took. No one needs to see more of me anyway.
-
Simple dinner (not pictured) and then a drink and snack while watching some Chinese period drama subtitled in Japanese.
Haine passed out a while back under the table of degeneracy (kotatsu).
-
Looks like a great trip!
-
So January second was another shrine with just the 4 of us. This was a shrine we took Haine to for Shichi-Go-San back when she was 3.
-
After the shrine was food. Hanna wanted okonomiyaki. We found a place that had been open for 153 years. Was great.
-
Friday, the 3rd, was lazy around the house until noon.
Then is was some shopping for a while before conveyor belt sushi with the grandparents.
