One of the most exciting times was when we visited “Alamo Square”. (A) Fans of “Full House”, including many Japanese, are longing to visit there. And the photo taken in this square shows seven Victorian houses painted colorfully against the background of the city's high buildings. (This is a famous one as a post card) This one is like a famous postcard: I’m sure someone has seen it. Anyway, it was so excited for us to go up the steep hill of Alamo Sq. Arriving there, we could see the row of seven Victorian houses across from this square, and we were very happy. At last, we did it!!

Happy "Setsubun" - it doesn't happen all too often that special days fall exactly on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays, but today it did, so we studied about this Japanese custom all in English: So, now you all know everything you needed to know about this unique custom here in Japan!
We didn't eat beans, but instead indulged in this nice looking plate full of sweet things. The red & white box is a prezzie brought in by Lindsey - you can all check what's inside next Saturday and the following... Continue reading...

Unbelievable - first, the blog counter hit the 10.000 mark while I was sleeping! Now, who was the lucky visitor?

What's more, a gentleman by the name of Charlie visited after a very long break, we're happy to have you back! This also means that - wow - today we could count two "boys" here on the same day! Gary, Bill, Abigail, Cr... Continue reading...

4 faces showed up today: Brittney, Gracie, Laura, Jamie and the "Master". Wait, that makes 5, doesn't it? Laura, Jamie and me got so excited about the football match on Tuesday between Japan and Korea that Gracie and Brittney started regretting a little bit that they had chosen "sleep" over "support Japan", in other words, having missed the game in favour of their bed/futon.Gracie brought in a really strange story about a lonely piano sitting on top of a sandbank in the middle of the ocean. Yo... Continue reading...

....and because it's officially payday in Japan today, we studied this one. And I mean, we really studied, since this one is a hard one:
(The dialogue under the picture reads: "I used to live payday to payday, now I live payday to three days till payday")
Our sweet treat today looked like this, and tasted like.........tasty cookies!: So, this is how we enjoyed this Tuesday, while our "Ms. Tuesday" was hitting the slopes somewhere - lucky girl!Emma, Abigail, Gracie, Calvin (!) and me talked about... Continue reading...

She respects and likes him now! apparently, she didn't before!We all learned the expression lowbrow, used for really "ミーハー" people! Madison had this story ab... Continue reading...

Hi, girls! Lindsey was fine, although a little bit maybe tired & relieved at the same time, as she had her 84-year old and extremely 元気 mother staying with her for 6 long days!
Emily brought in a brand-new electronic dictionary, bought just 30 minutes ago (well, not 30 minutes anymore!). She did lot's of research before buying and pulled off a great deal!
Sabrina told us a touching story. However, as it was a little too difficult for her (don't forget - she is our newest!), all in Japanese... Continue reading...
