Felicity: thanks for commenting! I love all the holidays here, even if it doesn`t mean a day off work, the history and stories around the stories are always interesting! Clea: The cake was delicious! I hope one day to own dolls like in the pictures for my daughter if I have one! Kelley: Yes, but there is no AUstralia day here and that is a shame. Plus Christmas here is a bit of a bummer....looking forward to next Christmas in Australia already! I guess each culture has the plus points! Megan: Thanks for commenting. I had read somewhere that it was International Women`s day...Thankyou for alerting me of it again. I have a killer cold, otherwise I think I would have organized a night in with my girlfriends...Good luck with your afternoon tea, i hope it goes off without a hitch!

Girls and Boys Day is so lovely. Are you aware that this Sat, Mar 8, is International Women's Day? To you and your women friends in Japan I wish a happy day without any discrimination or violence. We are celebrating here with an afternoon tea get together and lots of talk. I love the celebration days that are taken so seriously in Japan. Girls and Boys Day is so lovely.
