Yay! I am home! Kids are alive and the house is rather clean. Although all three kids and Robert looked three pounds havier from all that pizza (sort of homemade) and pasta:) They even planted some vegetables and a lilac bush in our yard.
Soooooo, I could write you a long post about my trip, and I probably will in a few days. But for now I have to share this.
Some things I have learned from my trip around Tokyo and Kyoto:
• Japan is definitely a country of contrasts—superior technology and deeply rooted traditions.
• People dress here in the most unimaginable ways—if it doesn’t go together, you put it on.
• Using a Japanese style toilet is not that difficult after all. A lot easier than finding “flush” button among at least a dozen of other buttons. Just ask my mama.
• Sometimes it is best NOT to know what you are eating.
• There are twice as many people in Japan than I thought there were.
• It is not a myth that Japanese trains follow the schedule with exactness—departure at 15:03 and arrival at 18:41 means just that.
We had a blast. It was a fun and fast-paced trip. We walked miles and miles each day, thank goodness NOT in high heels. Ate lots of Japanese food and became pros at taking the subway in both Tokyo and Kyoto.
Stay tuned for more.
