April 24 2008, Nakano in Tokyo, Olympus u830
There was a bar I used to frequent when we lived in Nakano as it was on my way home. I would stop in to say hello to the owner, have a drink and practice my Japanese conversation. He had been to Spain before, loved the type of “tapas” bars they had there and after spending 10 years as a salaryman he gave up his day job in marketing and started a bar. His name was Kentaro, and even if some days I did not stop to have a glass of wine he would come out to the street to say hello and ask after Shun. I promised him that once we returned to Japan I would be back to visit, even though travelling from Chiba out that way will take an hour or so.
This photo is of him playing this game on which you have to build a pyramid but you can only move one circle at a time.
* Back from Melbourne, had the most fab time! Post with photos to follow sometime soon.

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
Towers of Hanoi!!!

I LOVED this game – I used to be able to do it with my eyes closed
Can’t wait to hear all about your trip… = )
That game looks interesting – I’ve never seen it before!
Can’t wait to hear about your trip!
It was great talking to you tonight, although I spent most of the time coughing, gomen ne!
