At home in Japan
















There is a mandarin orange tree, a yuzu tree and a kiwi tree in my yard. Yuzu is like a lemon. It is very sour with a little bit of a bitter taste. My mom makes a tea out of it. I love it. Because we have the orange tree, we do not have to buy any oranges. I have not had any kiwi yet. Maybe I will have it tonight...
Holiday season is coming. Christmas light decoration outide of the house has become really common and popular in Japan. Some houses do a really great job. LOOK WHAT MY DAD DID.



This looks like nobody wanted to bring their Mardi Gras necklaces home, so they left them on a dead tree... This is pretty pathetic, but I have to admit that it is pretty funny looking. I should take pictures of the neighbors' Xmas decorations. Otherwise, people will think Japanese Xmas sucks. I need the proof to show you.
Today was really cold.
Oscar is sleeping right now. I should take a nap too. Having a baby makes me feel that one day is really short.

今日はお庭のフルーツの写真。うちにはなぜかキウイもある。みかんもなかなかおいしい。うちのお父さんいわく、うちのみかんをおいしく頂くコツは、買ったみかんを食べないこと。やっぱり、買ったみかんはおいしいらしい。それはそうだよね。向こうは商売だもの。
