@dwarf said in It could only be Cloud in Japan:

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.
-
Saturday was again a slow morning. Motoko and I went out to Komeda by ourselves around noon while the girls stayed with the grandparents
Motoko brother came by for a few hours and then we had simple dinner at home that evening.
Before I had something to drink
While everyone else passed out under the kotatsu.

just waiting to see what the shipping home cost is for Cloud’s new toy
